Default Oil Leak!!!

I have just discovered an oil leak. Grrr. It's dark out, but it appears to be coming from the right valve cover. How much will cheap replacements cost or should I just attempt to replace the gaskets. If so which ones are some high quality ones?

Hey, yeah a new set of valve covers would look good, but you will have to take off your upper intake to change them.. I would get a new set of gaskets.. The one's I like are the Fel-Pro cork valve cover gaskets, virtually leak proof... Hope this helps.

All you have to do is take the throttle body off to take the passenger side off. Get some Fel-Pro gaskets, or the sweet Ford ones, because both are resealable.
