Default valve cover gasket help

i have a leak on my drivers side. but it has 2 gaskets it looks like. one for the valve cover then there is more bolts on top of the valve cover. i have leaks from there as well. is this a normal problem? is that bad? and i was looking on this website and only can find the gasket for the valve cover not the cover on top on the valve cover?
please help and thank you very much.

your leak is most likely just on the top breather covers... that is very usual... I just re-did both mine on Tuesday for the second time... the breather cover uses the Ultra Black RTV gasket maker....here is a link for you....

the same happened to me with 30, 000 miles , leaked at the top breather. The Chrysler dealer replaced the whole Part (including the part with the main valve cover) free under my Chrysler extended warranty ($100 copay)

Yes, that is one of the common issues with Crossfires. Mine did that at barely 3000 miles. Should be an easy fix.

Good luck.
