The o ring seals between the valve cover and the spark plug channels. The valve cover gasket comes separate.

You can get a complete head cover kit (gaskets and washers). Also, the oil will cause the plug wires to swell and they will need to be replaced.

Under the cam carriers there are 4 O'rings that would result in oil getting into the plug tubes if the plug seals are good.
