Personally I would fix this problem by buying a gst or gsx. Other than that if your seals are new I would suggest a tourque wrench. If your bolts have already been overtorqued there maybe a crack in the valve cover. After torqueing the bolts, if it still leaks try to find exactly where the oil is coming from.
