You can have a car run forever if you keep the oil up ...even if it is leaking from the upper part of your engine.
But remember the oil leaking can destroy other things espescially starter motors which are not cheap to replace.
Regularly wash the oil off at a wash station when engine has cooled down a bit.
Don't stress tooo much unless you are going thru a litre of oil a day.
All cars leak oil when they get old.
Just ensure your car isnt going to catch fire...that is a big problem.

While I'm no mechanic, I've had to replace the valve cover gasket(s) on a couple of cars over the years, and that looks like it's likely the valve cover gasket. Inexpensive part and (normally) easy to change. It's hard to tell for sure from a pic, but what it looks like to me as well.
