Hello guys.
I have done my breather covers valve cover gasket a while ago, all was fine but i noticed the valve cover leaking a bit even if gasket was new (aftermarket ), i retorqued everything to 8nm the leak has reduced a bit but still leaks, i bought a new genuine Mercedes gasket today and fitted it the leak has stopped except on tiny drop from the rear bolt near bulkhead..i gave it a nip up like half a turn extra but it still leaks when engine warms up.
Any ideas what is wrong?i didnt use sealant because wis doesnt mention it.i guess these engine simply love to leak oil.
Thx
