Have a  look at the guide in the maintenance section . If you follow it to the letter you won't go  wrong .

Genuine VX gaskets are a must  as is the black sealant.  Cam cover torque setting is also critical .

If you do you own maintenance you should be able to do this .

I'm guessing you haven't found the maintenance guides :-\

Maintenance Guide Index (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90633.0)

Changing the gaskets isn't rocket science but you will need a set of Torx bits and a little torque wrench.
Changing the Cam Cover Gaskets (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90542.0)

The cam cover gaskets begin leaking when the breather system blocks up. Clean the breathers before you change the cam gaskets and then every year.
