I have oil leak on valve covers. How involved is the valve cover gasket replacement on 2002 Sebring Lxi Coupe V6 engine? Do I have to drain engine coolant? Remove intake manifold? I see the valve cover gaskets sets come with spark plug seals. What other gaskets will I need?

You will have to remove the upper intake to access the rear cover. You may have to remove some small coolant hoses but you won't lose too much coolant. I would also get an upper intake gasket. The spark plug tubes are part of the valve cover.
