It may not have been needed but they cost around a 100$ for a set of six off Amazon (link below) and I figured it was good insurance. Because the coil pack boots were impregnated with oil for several thousand miles I chose to replace them.
In my case the oil was found in the #2 and #3 spark plug wells. How do know if you need to replace your rocker cover gaskets? Easy, there will either be oil leaking around the gasket surface to the outside which will eventually find its way to your driveway or garage floor, or there will be oil pooling in one or more of your spark plug wells. This engine is fitted to a number of Infiniti and Nissan vehicles as I've listed below.

This is part 1 of a 2-part series on replacing the ignition coils and valve/rocker cover on a VQ35DE engine. I hope to have them fixed by next weekend and I will report back with my findings. I think that the gasket has caused the leak but I am not positive at this point. I plan to investigate to see if it is the cover or the gaskets.

Update 22Sep18: Well I've started to see some oil leaking from the valve covers so if you are in the market for new covers you may want to hold off for a bit until I have time to take mine off again. The Amazon covers come with gaskets but the gasket included is poor quality and it began to leak after a few thousand miles. I have paired these new, better gaskets with the cheap valve covers that I purchased from Amazon. Update 3 Oct 18: I have replaced the valve cover gaskets with Victor Reinz part #'s 5369 for left and right.
