Do you have a picture, are you talking about actually on the valve cover?, or the little circle on the top of the rubber grommet attached to the bolt(these may only be eco specific). If the later I wouldn't worry about it. So long as the gasket seals you should be ok.

okay ill try to post i picture later

okay heres a picture but i called the shop cuz i gotta take my car in there anyway but they said they could prolly replace it any idea how much that will be?
any input would be great

its just a valve cover....why would you pay someone to do that? go to your local junkyard where they probably have hundreds of them and replace it yourself for $20

OKAY I THINK I GOT IT ALLL FIGURED OUT I GOTTA TAKE IT TO THE SHOP THIS SATURDAY WERE THERE GONNA BEND THE FRAM BACK REPLACE THE FRONT END FOR 700 BUT ANYWAY I CAALLLED THEM ABOUT IT AND ASKED THEM AND THEY SAID THAT THEY CAN DO IT FOR 38 BUCKS WICH IS A GOOD DEAL CUZ I ONLY FOUND ONE VALVE COVER ON EBAY AND HE WANTED 98 BUCKS FOR IT BUT THX ANY

wow, that all is a ripoff, i would have sold you one of my spares for $20, I wouldnt even charge 98 for one of my polished ones.....lol

tell me about it
it was on ebay for a bout a 100 thats for the ordinary one so screw that
and for a blue power blasted one its like 149 if you dnt belive me do on ebay and type in cavalier valve cover
so you guys are saying i should go to a junk yard and get (will they even have one)
then take my broke one off
and when i take it off will anything pop out our is it preety striaht forward
thx
there kinda hard to find

THEY SHOULDNT BE HARD AT ALL TO FIND, THEY ARE VERY STRAIGHT FORWARD.

Nothing will pop out when you take the valve cover off. It's just a cover.

Replace it yourself, it will be quick and cheaper. Should not be hard at all to find at a junkyard.
