Nothing special on the valve cover gasket. The actual gasket is simply a flat sheet outline. The "cut outs" around the spark plugs are rubber/neoprene cups. Over tightening the cover is the usual culprit causing leakage.

A slight seepage of oil seems to be the norm for the M110 engine. I'm not talking dripping but a smudge along the junction with the cam tower housing.
