79 cj5 258 valve cover

Just purchased a 1979 CJ five with the 258 engine and a four-speed transmission. It is leaking oil very bad, so I am hoping to replace the valve cover with a new one as well as gaskets. Searching the Internet and I cannot find any valve covers for a 258 that are not for the year 81 or after.
Is there a difference between the 258 engine from a 79 to an 81? Or would the same valve cover work?
Mine currently has a plastic one and whoever put it on last time couldnt get it to seat properly so they just used a ton of goop to try and fill the gaps and it is leaking oil.
Anyone know of a lead for a valve cover for a 79 258 that is metal?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
