Thanks. I do not have permatex, so I'll just use the Hylomar I always use for my Porsche valve cover gaskets. Looking at the gasket, I do not think the gasket failed. The gasket is pretty much still intact. The oil leak is coming from higher up so I believe the o-rings in the relief are hard and are not seating properly anymore. I got the parts from the dealer so I should be good for another 15 years as long as she does not overheat and blow up the head. __________________ 1996 Ti 280k miles and still going.... 1993 964 - holding on to this one 2001 Burban, 240k miles 2018 Suburban Z71 |
