Changing valve cover seals

Im doing my valve cover seals because I think that's where my oil leak is oming from. Should I change any other gaskets/seals while im doing the valve covers?

Most of the other seals that cause problems are under the timing belt.

The only other thing to do when you have the valve covers off is to replace the grommets around the bolts holding the valve covers in.

Make sure you have the 3 gaskets and 10 grommets for each side of the engine.

Thank you for the response. I think my leak is coming from the valve covers, since that's where I see oil. What seals are under the timing belt cover?

Under the Timing Belt Cover is the Timing Belt. Once you get the belt off you can replace the cam seals, the crank seal. You also have access at this time to the waterpump and oil pump.
