2000 Hyundai Accent 2dr hatchback 1.5l

I have oil leaking near plug #4. I think there is a crack in the valve cover near the bolt. Any suggestions on where to get a good price on a good used one. I am trying to save money by diy. Thanks

If your sure the valve cover is cracked then the best place for a used one is at an auto parts recycler (junk yard). I have seen lots of valve covers that looked cracked but it is nothing more than excess material from the molding process. take a close look and make sure the gasket didn't fail.
It only gets better!!
