Replacing cylinder head cover gasket on S63B44 engine

My right side cylinder head cover gasket seems to be leaking oil. The amount of leaking oil is very small; however, I am afraid that it will get worst with time.

Question #1: Will this get worst with time or will this remain the same as far as the amount of oil leaking, considering location of the leak is not under any pressure?

Question #2: Has anyone attempted to do this yourself? How difficult of a DIY job would this be? BMW dealership is asking $3500 to get this done. Sounds a bit high to me. Any thoughts?

new gasket cost - $29.77 (see image)

any feedback on this would be greatly appreciated
