Years ago I spent the big bucks, and bought new studs and the valve 
cover gasket for a Corrado (sp?).  It fits the 91 IDI engine, and is a one
piece rubber style gasket.  Works OK, but there is some minor weeping of
oil if I don't get it seated just right.

I don't have the VW part number, but perhaps someone here does.
