replace the head gasket, it might be torn.

You need a new valve cover gasket. Take a look in the DIY section for info.

either a new one will be needed, or the current one is not seated properly on the valve cover. take it off, and make sure the gasket is fit on the cover.

Just for the future, a head gasket is very different from a valve cover gasket :)
