can using a thinner oil in the summer cause a temporary leak from the heat thinning the oil?

Be careful, sometimes it can actually be the valve cover itself.. has a crack in.

I'm supposed to be getting a 5.4 Triton V8 f250. Says it leaks from the head gasket. Could that just be mistaken for a Valve cover leak. How do you determine a leak from the head gasket

I suspected a valve cover leak on my gen 2 prius and replaced the gasket. I noticed nothing changed and oil leaks to the back of engine on passenger and driver sides of the engine. Is it possible the valve cover fitting is off and I should replace it from another car?

If nothing changed, maybe you didn't diagnose the source of the leak correctly. It's possible that you did not correctly reinstall the new valve cover and gasket, but it's not likely that you would have the exact problem as before. Another possibility would be a warped cylinder head. A new gasket would not likely fix that and would probably leak in the same spot.
