You are confusing the valve cover gasket with the head gasket.

Craig was suggesting a leak on the valve cover gasket, which will take you about two hours to fix when you do it for the first time.

The head gasket will take you 25 hours to fix when you do it for the first time.

You don't have any problems with the head gasket.........as far as we currently know.
