[Vwdiesel] valve cover gasket sealing issues...

[Gary Shea]

Hey, just wondering if anyone else has valve cover gasket sealing
issues.  This one leaks like crazy with a brand new gasket.  I'm
planning on cleaning it up and applying permatex aviation form-a-gasket,
the world's nastiest and most effective (to my knowledge ;) leak
stopper.

I used the same stuff on the oil pan and it's still leaking around a
couple screws, grrrr... did a careful job of applying the sealer, but
only to the gasket, not the metal directly.  Sigh...

The two screws nearest the tranny on the oil pan are hellish to get in!
Picked up a 1/4" drive extension and 1/4" drive 10mm flex socket to try
to get 'em in.
