This is not easy to do .If you don't have the tools and at least some experience with torque the correct gaskets and sealant's your going to be wasting your time it will leak worse the if dose now
It will take hours to clean the matting surfaces with razor blades and denatured alcohol weather cork or rubber gaskets .
Its a 2002 vehicle it has to be clean for it to seal .Then it needs to be torqued in sequance
It can be done but do some home work be for you you start

SOURCE: On my daughters 97 mazda mpv it set a code P1345

Look at your cam positon sensor harness and connector. Also pull the sensor out and look at the tip for abnormal wear (ie: chips, breakage, ugliness) Check for "mouse abuse," they love eating wire insulation. Most likely your sensor is bad. In the rare case you might have a damaged reluctor wheel.
Your Evap Code: large leak, that usually means that you left your gas cap loose. Or the seal on the cap is in need of replacement. Also if you've had any of your hands in the fuel tank, if you were messing around with the pump, you may have a damaged/leaking tank seal. OR if you were messing around with the vac lines you might have crossed the evap return line with the supply.

Valve cover leaks

Try replacing the valve cover gasket. If the valve cover gasket still leaks oil after replacement try adding standard 1/4 lock washers to the top of the valve cover bolts. I have a 2005 Suzuki Reno and had to replace the valve cover gasket several times. Adding the washers tightened the seal of the gasket and prevented any leaking,

Oil leak at the rear of the valve cover on the right side does not appear to be the valve cover gasket. another issue is the check engine light and the code is 743 and the o/d off light is blinking.

This isn't a solution, but I have a similar oil leak. I can see clearly with the help of a telescopic mirror that the leak is emanating from the port where the PCV valve hose goes into the cylinder head.

How to replace valve cover gasket 1998 chevy malibu

The first step is to remove all the parts that are in the way of you being able to remove the valve covers. (Ex.: air intake, loose wires etc.) Then you will need to remove your valve covers (using basic tools) and be very careful to not let anything get on your lifters, which your valve covers protect. Once you have the valve covers off compare the new gaskets to make sure they are the right size. Then remove the old gasket and replace with the new one using a high temp gasket sealant (available at any auto parts store) to attach the gasket to the valve covers. Then tighten down snug and check for leaks after replaced.

I need to replace the valve cover gasket on my voltswagon jetta

you probably mean the valve head gasket.

In this case this is serious work and you should contact a local VW dealership or mechanic and have them do this work for you to insure a job well done. If you simply mean your Valve cover, then this is no big deal and can be done by taking out the 4 screws found at the corners of the valve cover and then simply lifting the cover free and replacing it with a new one/tightening the screws back down.

hope this helps :)
