Try tightening first. Make sure the gaskets are seated on the cover all the way around, especially on the corners.

If that doesn't work, buy the new valve cover gaskets. They can be had for about $25 bucks. Do the job right and you'll never have to do it again.

Don't mess around with sealers, that's not the way the covers were meant to seal.
