Default Valve cover gasket replacement

I'm changing the valve cover gaskets as I want to change spark plugs,and there is oil in a couple of the plug wells ,I've got the oem gasket for drivers side and a febi one for passenger side ( oem only available cw new cover due to a warping issue on early vehicles on passenger side ) and it's several hundred for new cover and gasket so I'm going to try the febi one to see what happens ,my question is should I put a small amount of gasket sealer at the corners or not
