As an owner of an 82 myself, I can sympathize. I too had an oil leak from the valve cover, but that was fixed with a new gasket. I also had a leak problem with the distributor O ring which was fixed when I replaced that distributor with a less abused one from a mid 80's donor car with few miles. If your leak is definitely from the valve cover with a new gasket and sealant, perhaps there's a crack or dent that you haven't detected. Or perhaps the head is so warped from either a onetime severe overheating or a longtime persistant hot spot that no gasket or sealant will solve the problem. What causes a hot spot? Perhaps one of the coolant channels within the head has become blocked. A dead or dying thermostat can do the same.
