Always done front cover seal to fix this fault. I would advise genuine parts. If you’re doing it yourself it’s a bit awkward to slide the timing cover back in without disturbing the new gasket.
 
Its a bit hit and miss. Even using a new gasket, MB sealant and new cover ours needed to be done 3x before it finally sealed properly. That was with a well respected Indie and not me doing the work
 
Thanks GP801, sounds as if its all down to poor design and failure guaranteed to happen!
