Help- NEED Valve Cover!

well, last winter i had to replace my UVC gasket, due to the fact that the aluminum bracket my PS pump was bolted to broke, thus bending my VC, and causing it to leak. i was about to buy a VC and my dad came in the garage and took the thing and tried to straighten it, and it sucked. he raised enough cain about the price of a VC that he came up with the "smart" idea to put gasket maker in the bent area, and bolt it back on. he fussed about how i was gonna spend my money to the point that i put it back on there all jury rigged, and now its leaking again.

ling story short, i need a DRIVERS side valve cover if anyone can help me find one, its leaking lots in the front of it.
