Default Replaced lower spark plus seals oil and exhaust now leaking

96 accord 4cyl. I replaced the upper and lower spark plug seals and everything is fine except that there is a slight oil leak near where the exhaust header meets the pipe, there is also a small exhaust leak there.

any suggestions?

remove clean and reinstall the valve cover gasket this tim using black permatex rtv and then inspect exhaust manifold for crack and if none replace eshaust manifold gasket and retest. (the exhaust gases blowing toward the valve cover gasket may have overheated it and caused the leak)
