Valve cover gasket + oil filter housing gasket.

Hey there. I've had a leak in the valve cover for a while and recently it started pissing. About to order the gasket from fcp euro to replace. The oil filter housing gasket is also a common weak point, is it more convenient to change both since I'll already have alot of the car apart?

Don't think changing the valve cover gasket makes ofhg easier since they're in different locations.

Hm, I'd figure it has some pieces in common I'd be taking off the top. Im just a little paranoid I'll do the valve cover and 4 month later the oil filter housing
