    That's exactly what that is. That looks like a 4cyl, correct? It should be a very easy job to do.

    Yes, gasket and tube seals will do. It's generally a very easy job.

    As long as you don't have oil pooling down on your plugs, it's ok to drive like that. Note though that you might want to consider replacing your plug wires too as they may become oil-saturated and cause a misfire in the future.

    Yeah you'll be fine to drive it around a little while as long as you just keep oil in it.. It'll be a relatively easy fix on a 4cyl but its a job on a 6cyl.. Get a felpro gasket kit and they come with spark plug tube seals and the valve cover gaskets.. Also get some RTV for the gasket
