There are two parts to the valve covers, the main part and the part above it. The main part of the valve cover has an actual gasket that can be purchased, but the top portion uses RTV.

How hard is it to replace both? What would the part number be for the bolts and does anyone know that part number for the bolts to the airboxes?
Mine looks like some of the gasket is coming out the side is that why it is leaking and the top and bottom look the same is that rtv or am I retarded.

The job is not too tough, but it takes time and you want to be careful not to get dirt in the engine. I'm not sure what the part numbers are to the bolts.

Here's a diy for the covers:
