Need help changing my valve cover gasket on my 03 explorer?? Started leaking and dripping oil onto my engine?? Has anyone ever done this before???

A Haynes manual will outline the entire process in detail for you. I have not done it myself.

Haynes manual

Guess the best place to get a Haynes manual would be ebay?

I got one at the local library. It gave explanation (text) of what to do but only one picture. It doesn't look too hard though once everything is out of the way. The air cleaner and housing, the fuel pressure regulator, MAF sensor on the passenger side, EVAP canister connector, EVAP canister solenoid bracket, oil dipstick mounting bolt on the left (drivers) side.
I haven't done it yet so I'm not talking from experience, this is book smart not real life. I'll get my chance this weekend.

You can pick one up at your local parts store. I know advanced auto parts and auto zone carries them for $25 bucks.
