Misfire = oil in plug well

hey guys,
Very happy because I just got my turbos rebuilt w/ billet wheels and downpipes etc and car is back on the road.
After a few days I was getting a misfire in cylinder 3. I changed the plug last night and it's running good now.
however, the old plug was coated in oil so I'm sure I need to at least replace the rear valve cover gasket/plug seals.
Anyone know of a write-up or resource showing the removal of the valve cover on the rear and maybe front also?
I'll prob do this myself but I haven't taken a good look yet to see what all needs to come off and how much of a PITA it might be.
Thanks

Tab of Black RTV sealant on each corner is ideal. Z

All was good for a few days. Now I have a misifre in cyl 4. Need to get those gaskets changed this weekend.
Just to confirm is this correct?

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!
