Most oil leaks from a less than perfectly straight valve cover seep out between the gasket and the head.
By using adhesive between the gasket and the head, you shouldn't have any leaks.
There isn't enough oil going to the rocker arm assembly to ever flood to the point the it would make it over the top of the glued down gasket.
