The valve cover comes with the spark plug tube gasket installed, the gasket is not sold separately.

Oil in the tube means the spark plug gasket is leaking. Oil around the spark plug could alter the temperature of the plug and cause it to misfire.

I think I priced that locally under $100 for the assembly, your pricing may vary.
