This one has me stumped since it should be an easy 10 minute fix.
The previous owner had a cork gasket installed, no sealant, slight leak at the front of the cover.
I bought a new set of (cork) gaskets, loaded them up with Permatex and was very careful when tightening everything. Kind of went in a crisscross pattern not to warp the cover.
Now it leaks way worse.
Last ditch effort was to put a bolt on the front with a tab washer from my SBC, still leaks.
Should I just order a new set of covers assuming this one must be warped?
Thanks, Pete
