Good man. There wasn't much specific info on the entire job.
It may NOT be possible to STOP the leak fully.
After 2 attempts i said "Im never doing that job again."
On 4th attempt i put silicone on the valve-cover-gasket & killed it.
It began spraying atomized oil all over the entire engine bay.
On my 5th attempt i got lazy & only put a new valve-cover-gasket
into the rocker-cover with NO silicon-sealant & gently tightened it up.

A very THIN LAYER of Anaerobic Flange Sealant, for the Solenoid-Assembly,
and a much longer drying time, is for the 6th attempt.

Tip: Before removing Rocker-Cover leave AIRBOX on the car.
Simply undo 3x 10mm bolts that hold the Plastic Air-Intake tube to the Throttle-Body.
Then BEND the plastic air-intake tube towards the WINDSCREEN
then tuck it under the left windscreen wiper.
Takes 20+minutes off the job.
