Rocker Valve Cover still leaking....Part III.

I changed now the oil pressure switch (a pain doing so...), changed the dizzy sealing (o-ring, done at a workshop) and changed the VC gasket once again without any sealant.
Still leaking badly!
Coming from above the cylinder No. 1 and 4 and the end towards the passenger compartment. Near cylinder 1. Saab isn't driveable any more, just leaking oil.
If engine is idling, I can see the oil drops coming from the VC/cylinder head where the gasket should seal properly!
So I suppose the VC is bad, will need a new one. But where to buy, it isn't listed anymore at the Saab shop...
I changed all grommets and Vaccuum hoses, no chance for leaking there. Dizzy is dry, not leaking anymore.
Engine is dry and not leaking anywhere, engine is spotless clean and freshly painted! Only slight oil dust near the oil dipstick (going into the engine), but nothing serious here!
I'm desperate about the oil leaks, drove me crazy last days.
BTW leaking is worse than before I used the Loctite 518 stuff!

And see my earlier posting about that thread! Please.
