Liquid gasket will work, but You can buy a proper gasket from any decent motor factor or your local pug dealership, as for the tapping, its more than likley that if its been low enough on oil, then one of your hydraulic lifters has been empty, and prob wont fill again until the car is started and the oil is warm enough to get under lifter, got the same prob with mine the now, but the tapping is permanent, duin my nut in.

Sounds like it was tapping because you had no oil in, it might be ok but could have reduced the engines life if you have been running without any oil in for a while. You cant buy new rocker cover gaskets, they come only with new rocker covers, so a good quality sealant is the only other option other than buying new rocker covers.
