ok i recently noticed a small oil leak on the driver side of my car and a bad burned smell after driving. i thought it was the return line from my supercharger but after checking several times i decided it is coming from somewhere else. i lifted the car and noticed oil all over the bottom of my alternater so i think it is coming from somewhere above that.. today i pulled my spark plugs and one of the driver side plugs is saturated with oil. so now i am thinking it must be the valve cover gasket now i have read different things some say that i can just replace the gaskets and it will be fine but i have also heard that i would need to replace the entire valve cover because of the oil in the sparkplugs. now im just wondering if everyone thinks that i am correct by thinking valve cover gasket and if i am on the right track to fix it.. any input is appriciated..

you will have to replace the whole cover. Driver side cover costs about 180 bucks.

Yeah the spark plug gasket on the valve cover is not replaceable. I have a valve cover for sale if your interested.

is it a new one or used? should i go ahead and replace both or just the one driver side? the passenger side ones werent covered in oil but there was a small trace on the threads is this normal?

They are used, but in good condition. Only 5000mi.

now you list the miles. I have been asking you a few times through PMs and you never answered.

Both --and JETS 5000 milers would be the way to go
