The valve covers are an easy fix.

Now the overheating combines with a few other symptoms could be bhg.
The more it overheats the more likely you will lose the propper seal.

is the value cover cracked if not just get new seals its really easy just unscrew it clean it off then apply the new seal warm the engine and let the seal warm up and fit in if it still over heats you got a BHG BLOW HEAD GASKET expic to spend about 1500 if you do it urself and if not 3k for a shop cuz its a TURBO they say
