I recently noticed an abnormal vibration while driving my car. I checked under the hood and it appear to have a leak on the valve cover gasket.. Can this strange vibration be caused by the leak on the gasket? And if so, does changing the gasket could be the solution for my problem?

You might have a misfiring cylinder or a bad motor mount. I will give you a walk through diagnotic for that. Just use the link below;
