Unhappy Engine Oil Leak Problem

OK, so my engine has been staining oil everywhere for a while now, but for the last month it has started to leak oil to the ground now, every 1000 miles it eats up a whole quart, I got the 420a engine (eclipse 1999), i notice the "wet" oil comes from the drivers side of the valve cover just where it joins something else which i can't figure out what it is XD, My question here is Do i got a faulty valve cover gasket?? cause from what i read it seems these are pretty leaky. and if yes What kind of gasket should i get?? autozone has 2 kinds but i can't choose :P
Thanks in advance for your time guys

UPDATE: I don't longer believe its the VC gasket (i have inspected the leak closer now) it does comes from the drivers side, i have notice that the harder I accelerate the car the more it leaks I drove 100 miles few days ago around 70mph and when I checked the oil level found out it was empty (engine cooled off).
