Somebody can correct me if I am wrong on this one, because the DX/LX valve cover is different from the EX.
Describing the direction to install the seals can be confusing, so I copied a pic below of those gaskets.
Shouldn't the side that is facing UP (the sealed end) in the pic be facing the inside of the valve cover?

I didnt think about the using the vaccum to clean out the holes. But thank you for all the advice!...Yes I replaced the upper seals with the open end towards the inside of the valve cover.

Ok, now the new spark plugs and spark plug wires just came in today, I install those and the car started up really nice compared to last nites fiasco. But the idle is a little too low and the acceleration is a little hesitant.....is that my timing now?

The pic is small, but the drawing in the shop manual is terrible.
I attached it below.
I remember reading that someone had installed the seals upsidedown, and that created the oil leak you described.
Your seals are different than my EX, so I wasn't sure how they go in there.
