just so you know before you wana do anything, the valve cover comes in two solid pieces that are something like $290. The valve cover removal is pretty straight forward, hell, get a plenum spacer and make it easier on yourself (the instructions would come with the plenum spacer)/

Thanks for the info. I'll def keep that plenum spacer in mind whenever I have some free $$. So we got the valve cover off no problems..like you said pretty straight forward. Now I need to know how to replace the leaking o-ring in the valve cover. Any advice?

You can't replace just the tube seals, you have to replace the entire valve cover.
