Default Help:Valve Cover Gasket Probs

I was changing out my spark plug gaskets and decided to change my valve cover gasket while I had the cover off...well I did and after I put it back on oil is leaking through and I cant get it to stop. Ive tried putting some sealant stuff I found, "gasket maker" but im confused as to why a new gasket is causing leaks? Help me out here

Help use out

Year car, engine, what kind of gasket did you buy, how many pieces did you replace.

In a normal honda VCover replacement you should have replaced the main VC gasket 2, tower seals 3, gromments 13.14

As well you want to put silicone in the corners where the VC gasket goes over the cam shaft at the ends.

If you would go buy the gasket kit from honda and not use gasket maker it wont leak, plus its cheap.
