only time you would need to replace valve covers,is if they are dented and allowing rockers to hit inside cover,or they have holes in em letting oil leak out. you may need to change valve cover gaskes as now and then they will leak oil
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.
It varies depending on the severity. if the damage isn't too bad, it could be piston rings, valve seals, pcv valve, and valve covers. in the worst case it could be a whole engine block, cylinder heads, cams, oil pump, oil pump pickup, valve covers, and pcv valve. generally ive been replacing the block, valve seals, valve covers, pcv valve, and oil pump.

The cost of replacing an EGR valve varies with the make, model and location of the car. An EGR valve for a 1996 Lincoln Town Car is about $160.
There SHOULD only be oil inside the valve covers. If they leak coolant you have a serious problem.
