what he said up above sounds correct to me. if you get the gasket at the dealer each o-ring is sold seperate outside of the actual cover gasket which is just stupid but hey i dont make the rules. no worries itll only cost you 10-15 bucks plus 15minutes

definatly from the o rings that seal around the spark plug area . . . . or a untightened valve cover . . .
