There are also oil seals for the valve cover bolts.

When replacing a VC gasket i usually silicone anything that the gasket is touching, especially in the nooks and crannies such as corners, along with the spark plug holes.

Looks like a ZC engine, and it looks like the valve cover bolt seal in the center is where most of the moisture is. Silicone is not needed on those, just replace it
