Default 1990 929 Valve Cover

Just purchased a 1990 929 the previous owner told me that every 500 to 800 miles a spark plug will foul out caused by oil leaking in to the area around the plug. He has tried replacing the valve cover gasket without success. Any ideas as to any other remedies that I might try?
