Default valve cover leak?

Would I have to pull the motor out to fix this?

NO NO NO , but just saying even if you were thinking about it tells me you may be over your head. I would get a manual first and maybe some help from someone who knows what they are doing. Learning is a slow process.

There's a link on utube shows access to the bolts that seem to be impossible, I know that's why you're asking. Removal/ reassembling also.

Rocker box gaskets? Ok figured they was not called valve covers.
I made a Allen wrench that I just fit in some of Allen's between the frame and
Motor but didn't know if it would be possible to remove and replace the
Gaskets I need to, without pulling motor.

I have worked on most everything but harley so
Should be able fix this with some knowledge
From you guys.
