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

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

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.
