Tighten them down in a criss cross pattern. Make sure to tightem them evenly and to exactly 3 lb/ft of torque, which is not very much. More or less and they will leak. Re-check the torque after driving for 100 miles.

It is sometimes a problem but not necessarily due to the material the valve covers are constructed of. Check all the bolts holding the valve covers on an tighten them to exactly 5 lb/ft of torque and no more. If that does not stop the leak, then the valve cover gaskets will need replacing. If the oil leak is very slight, I would just leave it alone, as this can be an expensive repair unless you do it yourself.
