FEL-PRO Part # VS50566R. Should set you back around 40.00 USD.
To replace the valve cover, you will need to break the gasket and the o-rings. The gasket prevents oil from leaking.
Use a 1/4" drive ratchet and extension. run the extension up the hole in the center of the filter cover. The filter is a replaceable cartridge with a gasket not a spin on.

Remove the valve cover.....scrape off old gasket.....clean gasket surface on valve cover....apply gasket sealent to valve cover gasket surface.....set gasket in sealent.....reinstall valve cover.
You have a leaking valve cover gasket. The oil under the cover leaks past the gasket and drips down on your exhaust. It is a $50 part (actually 4 gaskets in the kit) on eBay and a couple hours for a good mechanic to change on this car. It is not a terrible hazard, though might be a slight fire hazard.
