The new valve cover gasket installed on my '67 GTV is leaking oil out the front edge. This gasket was included in a set from International, which seems to not be the best quality (also had trouble with the rear cover gasket). Anyone have a recommendation...

Am I removing this or just tightening down the cover...

My 1985 8v GTI leaks a bit from the cam cover, it has the original tin cover with the cork gasket and the two rubber half moon seals. Is there a better repalcement? as I can't see it ever being 100% oil tight as it is

Thanks,Anton...

This job leads to quite a few other "while the mating surface of your head to valve cover -especially on the exhaust side - for any tiny cracks.
And new TB gasket since it needs to be removed (per FSM).

Took my car into the dealer for an oil leak and they discovered it was a blown valve cover gasket. Car is a 2005 with only 52000km. Any ideas on what would cause this, and if its a sign of other problems? They also had to replace the thermostat as well...
