I'm pretty sure I need to replace the gasket on my valve cover, as there is a slight amount of oil on the #2 and #3 spark plug, plus I have a small leak. Is there a how-to on how to do it? I'm gonna try to tackle it this week since I'm off for spring break. This is for a 5S.

I just finished up the project about 2 hours ago.
Cleaned the valve cover up very well, as well as re-painted it with new black paint. It looks great, and I used high-temp RTV sealant, seems to be working great so far. No leaks!
