SR20DE valve cover gasket leaks

Hi, is this "valve cover gasket leak" a chronic problem with the SR20DE engine, or what? Two years ago, the Infiniti dealership discovered the problem on our 96 G20, and then again one year ago (either they didn't fix it or I'm just unlucky). I just had AAA do an inspection on my 95 SE-R yesterday and they discovered the same thing.
Has anyone else experienced this, is it fatal, and how much would it cost to repair? For an acclaimed engine that's been around since 1991, such serious problems are disappointing.

I've had my cam cover off a couple times, never used any sealant, and I've never bought a new gasket, no leaks. Its when I put on a not so clean freshly bead blasted cam cover that I ran into problems(note to self, flush baffles good before installing).
