I have an oil leak coming from the back of the cam case, as I have to change
the belt I figured I'd take care of this at the same time. Does this gasket
go on dry, or can anyone suggest a good sealent.
Thanks

the leak is probably because a 10mm bolt that holds the smallround cover in
place has loosened.  check it,if that's the case just tighten, no need to
replace anything

thanks for the reply, but I probably wasn't clear.
I did find the bolts that were loose, bu they were two of the allen heads
holding the cam case on. It has already been removed. I just need to know a
good sealent for this gasket, or should it go on dry.
Thanks

at each of the 4 corners you need to apply a small drop of gasket sealant.

its in the haynes and in the porsche workshop manual
