First off, there is no valve cover gasket, per se. The block splits at the centerline of the camshafts. Quite a big job. I think you may be refering to the spark plug cover (say's: "Volvo 20 Valve"), held on with 6 #30 torx head screws. take it off & clean up the oily mess. Don't split the block. If your car is leaking oil at the camshaft seam, you'll need major engine overhaul to repair it.
