Engine Problem!, Want to see wat you guys might think it is Options

Ok. My Celica's leaking a little bit of oil. I checked the engine and found a small leak out the back from between the head and the valve cover. So far ppl have said its the head gasket. The engine also sounds rough at idle. And when its cold (which it doesn't get very cold here in Houston), the engine goes up to 2000 rpm and sounds weird. I'm pretty sure it is the head gasket but also figured i'd try to see if someone could give me their opinion. Another prob is that i'm not sure if it would be only the head gasket. haha i tried to explain the problem as best as i could. So...any suggestions?

If its leaking between your cylinder head and valve cover then its most likely your valve cover gasket is bad just replace it and make sure you seal it right or it'll leak again.

Edit: Your head gasket is located beneath your cylinder head oh and its normal for your car to idle around 2k if the engine is cold when you first start it its normal on our cars its your ecu telling you its trying to warm up your engine.
