Default Small Valve cover leak

My GS 300 1995 has a small valve cover leak to the extend that it leaks a drop every 2 weeks. THe car has 147k and runs perfect. Anyone had to replace a valve cover? What did you pay? Can you do it yourself?

Is there a crack/hole in the VC, or is it just leaking around a gasket? If it's just a gasket, that's a cheap and easy replacement. Either way, it's definitely a do-it-yourself job.

if it's just the gasket then you just worry about labor......about 2 hours i think. there are two gaskets for it about $30 only. i have my parts just haven't done the work.......
