3.0 valve cover gaskets

The pass side doesn't look too tough, but the driver's!! Any helpful hints? It's definitely them leaking. I just changed the oil, and looked w/a flashlight. Definitely coming around the exh manifolds and down the block. I was even thinking about hitting pull a part and getting another pair, for a trial run, and, to have them pre cleaned and ready to go back on.

Gloves, always wear gloves if you like your blood. If memory serves me right, those are 10mm, and I use a 10mm deep socket, short 3" extender and a long 3/5 rachet. Reach back there with a magnet and use the force to remove it.
