Default Cam cover gasket advice.

Mornin all, the time has come to get this job done now as its smocking quite a bit now and I can smell it inside the car for the first 30 mins of driving. Im just wondering if anyone knows exactly what parts I need and what type of gasket sealant to use too. Its a 97 uk turbo 2000 and its leaking from the drivers side cam cover. I'm guessing that I need a genuine gasket and genuine spark plug seals, also do i need seals for the bolts for the cover? And which kind of gasket sealer paste is best? I appreciate any help guys.

Cheers.

Best contact ICP direct for the correct gasket.

You might as well get the bolt seals (I also got new bolts) from ICP
