Oh man... i'm scared to check mine, I'm assuming there isn't a DIY video for changing out the valve cover gasket yet, is there?
By the way, for anyone that wants to read up on the service manual, it's called a "rocker" cover(it should be the same thing right?).
From the looks of it...it has lots of pieces to remove just to get to it.

just noticed they didn't recalibrate my throttlebody... grrr!!! Pulled over to the side of the road and performed the procedure from memory 
turn ignition to off position, wait at least 10 seconds.
turn ignition to on, wait 3 seconds
press and depress the gas pedal 5 time in 5 seconds
don't do anything for 7 seconds
hold down the accelerator pedal to the floor until CEL starts blinking, then release within 3 seconds after CEL is solid again.

That explains the amount of parts on that list to be replaced.
No wonder it leaks. Any aftermarket metal valve covers out there?
