How do you change the valve cover gasket on a 2001 dodge neon?

I have 2001 neon with a 4 cyl 2.0l engine manual trans that has an oil leak around the 2 sparkplug tube on the valve cover. is the gasket a good place to start looking and is it a DIY project. I have good mechinical knowledge and a fair amount of expereince.How do you change the valve cover gasket on a 2001 dodge neon?
on that one its real easy ,just mark the spark plug wires with a piece of tape and remove them ,then remove anything else in the way and then remove the nuts that hold it on,and it will come off,clean it real good before you install it and wipe around it really good so you,ll be able to tell if you have any more leaks,good luck ,if you take your time with it,you can do it ,and do a good job with it.How do you change the valve cover gasket on a 2001 dodge neon?
it is definitely the gasket and its an easy task. just label the spark plug wires so you dont cross them and it should unscrew very simply. the gasket should only be $5-10. its probably only a 20 minute job.
