You could try a SR gasket, no promises that it'll work...

you didn't mention which skyline or put it in your profile which makes answering more challenging...

 

but, in addition to the factory rocker cover gasket for your model, you should change the half moon seals that sit behind the cam at the same time. 

some people recommend a thin bead of silicone gasket to seal the rocker covers but I have never needed that (except on the half moon seals where the factory workshop manual says it should be used).

also pay attention to the screws that hold the covers down. They have rubber bushes on each which have almost certainly perished by now and may well be the main problem (because the screws won't be holding the covers down properly). You can also buy these for a couple of dollars each, or cut 3mm lengths from garden hose for the ghetto option.
