I saw wisps of smoke coming from the oil that dripped on the exhaust.
So little leaked out that it still showed as being fine when I checked it. In fact I had checked it just a few days before I noticed the smoke and didn't see that there was a problem. Then again I wasn't looking for one just pulled the dipstick and checked.
No lift at all. Apparently they just remove some stuff from the front, pull the cover and reseal. It's not a gasket just silicone so all they have to do is have access to clean the old and reapply.
