I replaced the valve cover gasket set and that stopped the oil leak. A few months later it looks like the vtec valve assy. is leaking. Should I replace the vtec valve assy. or just the gaskets?

On my 4 cylinder 1999 I had a clogged PCV valve and the excessive pressure was pushing oil everywhere, including the VTEC solenoid, and I replace the gasket there.
Why would you replace the solenoid when you have a bad gasket? I would do only gasket. It is very hard to get to the side screws - not enough room.
Good luck,
Sam
