Small oil leak

So while fixing my 99 GP GT with 173k miles and I noticed small drops of oil in the garage. . very minimal but still. a leak is a leak. I have narrowed it down to being the valve cover gasket so I believe I am up for the job. Also by reading around the forum it would probably be a good idea to change the UIM and LIM gaskets. Does anyone know of a good write up or how to procedure with pics? I am mechanically inclined and like it but I have not done something so deep before. Any help with procedure and where to get the parts from would be appreciated. I'll probably be tackling this job once the weather gets warmer so I have time to gather everything

Re: Small oil leak

Why fix it if it ain't broke?

Just find the source of the leak....

Re: Small oil leak

I would definitely just change the front and rear valve cover gaskets. Consider tilting the engine forward for the rear one. If you have no leak after that, be happy.
