Default gasket question

ok, so my craftman tools came yestoday, I am going to do my valve adjustment soon and install my neuspeed header.

The problem is that my engine is leaking oil from the valve cover and nothing in the spark plug holes, so I Am assuming I need a valve cover gasket?

ahmotor sell it for 8.45 http://ahmotor.com/product/ahmcat1vcg.html
but kragen sell for 30 bucks?!

the header didn't come with any gasket either. I need an exhaust manifold gasket right? kragen also sell it for 30 bucks. Stock ones fits fine right?

do I have the right gasket names? if so, where should I get them?
