Spark Plug Cover Hole Leak

I have oil coming from the holes for the spark plug cover. Any suggestions on how I can fix? My cover is pretty old. I am guessing I may need to replace it. Seems like a strange place to have a oil leak. I first thought it was the cap, so I replaced the cap. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Clean it well and put rtv in the hole. Install bolt. Let cure. other option is to get the crack in hole fixed, or replace valve cover.

I would probably just replace the entire valve cover rather than try to patch up any cracks.

The valve cover is actually new. The spark plug cover is old. I think I am going to go the rtv route first. I cannot afford another valve cover right now. Might be trading the car soon. Don't want to put too much more money into the car. Thanks for the tips.
