My engine has some oil leaks. I don't necessarily want to rebuild it as it runs really good. I just wanna get rid of all the oil leaks it has. Is there such a kit that has all the gaskets for the engine? Or should I just buy everything seperate? I'm just collecting information right now as I won't be able to do this until the spring.

Edit: I almost forgot. My valve covers are getting rusty. Any good recommendations on the kind of paint I should be using on them? I would be painting them when I do the re-gasketing of the engine.

There are only a few places for your engine to leak.. Valve covers are usually where the oil comes from.
Most other leaks are pressure leaks and cannot be repaired easily. The front and rear main seals might be repaired by replacing the PCV on the valve cover.
So just get some valve cover gaskets and a new pcv and then see where it leaks..

otherwise to answer the main question, check summit's site they got waht they call like an engine gasket kit or something like that with all needed gaskets

That actually sounds like a better idea than what I had in mind.
 
Carter Performance has the best price on full engine gasket kits, that is where I ordered mine. Any automotive store should have engine Enamel (it comes in a rattle can). For the valve covers you do not need to have high temp paint. Also use primer. I'm doing a gasket kit on my 4.0 now, I have not received my kit from Carter Performance yet but I have heard a lot of good about them.
