Sure! You have to start somewhere with repairs and this is an easy one. Just make sure you clean all the oil out of the spark plug holes, you might as well replace them if you don't know when the last time was that they were changed. Almost any brand is good. You will probably need the rubber grommets that fit over the screws that hold the valve covers on too. I don't know if they come with the valve cover seas. Take a look at the 2 front cam seals too and see if it is very wet in that area. You may not be able to tell if the valve covers have been leaking alot, but this is another source for oil leaks and it can ruin the cam belt.

So, it is not just one thing to do, but several things to check. The cam seals should be done with care because you have to remove the timing belt, but at least check to see if the belt is showing signs of cracking on the flat side.

Let us know how it goes.
