Yeah, the valve cover is an expensive thing, especially if you need it in a hurry.
Ideally, You'd want to do the job with the car parked somewhere it can stay for a few weeks; that way you can buy the gasket, take it apart and examine your existing valve cover to see if you need a new one. If you're lucky you can put the car back together on the spot with a new gasket, if you're unlucky you order a valve cover from one of the cheaper online stores; not from your local dealer who'll charge 30% - 50% more.
