Happy Birthday to me!!!
Just picked up a gift for myself today. A new, to me, 2008 T100. I was grinning the entire 2 1/2 hour ride home from picking her up  . As an additional gift, she decided to welcome me to Triumph ownership by leaking from the cam cover and spewing oil all over my sprocket cover and side cover. If you look close you can see the spray pattern on the side cover in the photo.  I can see this is going to be an interesting relationship already.

Excellent bike!
Don't worry too much about the cam cover - it's an easy fix as you have likely read already.
Enjoy the bike!

Congratulations and Happy B'Day! If it is an 08 the fix for that oil leak will likely still covered under warranty.

Congrats and Happy Birthday! Beautiful ride 
I just recently fixed my very, very minor weep with a chrome valve cover and fresh gasket (along with a thin coating of spray gasket for good measure). Complements the T100's chrome cases very nicely

Congratulations
as I always tell new bonnie owners, fixing the cam cover leak is the first mandatory "mod" that you should take care of
