Rocker cover gasket 2008
I'm just in the process of changing my rocker cover gasket drivers side o/s on my 2008 hatch Sti. I've cleaned all the mating surfaces but can seem to see where the half moons are. Can anybody clarify if they have half moons on this model? I was getting a very slight leak at the bottom corner at the back of the cover.

Not fitted on twin avcs heads, so you won't find them, unusual for these type of covers to leak.
I would be carefull with oil leaking onto the heat wrap, that's one hell of a fire risk first time that gets a decent whack of heat into it.

It's a very very small leak that just form residue all most in the back corner. It doesn't even create enough oil to drop on the exhaust but it's annoying seeing it so I want to sort it. I've taken the seal out and it seems fine so maybe the mating face had something causing a gap.

There seemed to be some sort of sealant on there yeah. And that might just be spillage from the little catch tank in the rocker cover as I lifted it off.

Ok so the gasket seems fine and I cleaned everything of, my question is do you rebuild this with additional sealant of does the gasket do the job on its own? If sealant if needed can somebody explain where to apply it?
