Joe---Wipe the area clean at the back of the valve cover, below the
valve cover gasket line. Then check  to see if there's oil after a brief
run. It's common for these gaskets not to seal well unless perfectly
placed, and properly secured. Sometimes the (cork) gasket itself doesn't
fit the recess in the cover, unless "coaxed".  If this is not the case,
follow plan "A" described earlier!
