not rear main seal

well this winter i planned on doing the rear main seal but then come to find out it wasnt worth it yet so yesterday me and my friend went to put the drive shafts back in and noticed that the oild was dripping on the front diff so we looked undr the hood and come to find out it wasnt the rear seal instead its the passanger valve cover leaking out of the back near the fire wall now i know theres alot of hoses and intake stuff on there but does anyone have a write up on how to do the valve cover gaskets or any advice
thanks

don't forget the cam seals on the back of the heads. i didn't replace the o-rings on them cuz only the dealer had them, so i just used rtv and it worked great. i also used cheap felpro gaskets. 3 years and no leaks...yet
