Only until the exhaust system has burned out the contaminates that was there before the job started, I would say aprox 30 to 60 minutes. If it continues longer than that I would suspect the gasket was installed improperly or the head is cracked.
If you are locked out of your vehicle, you should call a locksmith. You should not break into a vehicle that is not yours.
You may not see anything on the gasket. Usually a head gasket "blows" because of overheating that causes the head to warp. A gasket can be bad but there should be a visable break very often in the ring around the cylinder.
You have to check the valve cover gasket from all sides. If it's not the gasket then you should check the break fluid level, and the break tubes around the passenger tire.
Lubrication properties of oil start to break down, just like oil and water don't mix. It will start to look almost like milk. Look at replacing an head gasket.
To replace the valve cover, you will need to break the gasket and the o-rings. The gasket prevents oil from leaking.
Countersteer, and do not hit the break until the vehicle is straight.
The thermostat goes in the recess of the manifold . The gasket should be glued to the thermostat housing. Silicone sealer makes a metal surface slippery, so if used, should be done sparingly. Let the two adhere and install the housing to the intake. Do not over tighten as a bolt could possibily break. BE SURE THE SURFACE IS CLEAN of the old gasket.

It depends on the present condition of the break pads, and how worn they are. If your break pads need replacing I recommend having them replaced as soon as possible.
