Default Oil Leak!

OK, I've got the bog standard oil leak from the drivers side rocker gasket

Car is a MY95 wrx and I've found the following gasket on Ebay that supposedely fits my engine:

Gasket set

Now, is this all I need or is there a gasket set available that includes all I need. I know I could seal it up with something made by RTV but would rather try and not use this if possible.

If anyone can give some advice here, I'd appreciate it. I've read posts about the main problem being the half moons, right or wrong?

do not buy copy gaskets or anything off the net! the one in ur ebay link is craaaap and will go again a few weeks later or when you give it some beans

go to the subaru dealer, give chassis number, ask for full gasket kit: rocker gasket, half moons, and bolt washers

at the end do not forget to ask for some loctite grey sealant aswell so you can apply it to the half moons, the gasket itself should seal on its own but apply a layer to that too if you want.

will cost you £50

motor factors and the like will be cheaper but its

As above just put a smear of high temp sealant on the new stuff to help seal think its called tripple bond can't remember for sure , just make sure all surfaces are spotless .
