I can speak from my experience in the VW world (Type1, but also Type4 engines) that I never used any adhesive, sealant or anything like that when installing the cork valvecover gaskets.
When the snapped on coverholder does not have enough tension to keep the cover firm in its spot, it can leak and if the valve cover is warped same thing. If the valvecover is straight and there is enough pressure to hold the cover there should be no need for any product to add.
I know there is a difference in cork-gasket quality, the Original VW ones are really good, so maybe poor quality gaskets can change things to use....
