Rocker cover
I've got an oil leak from the rocker cover. The oil is going on the manifold and smokin.
I went to replace the gasket and found the rocker cover has a slight twist. Should it be like this or should it be flat?

get the rubber gasket from vw for that, not the cork one.

Is it worth trying the rubber or replace the cover?

does the cover sit flat (on the table or something) without too much effort?
the cork gaskets have a rubber semi circle bit. these are prone to leaking. the rubber one is one piece. you have to change the fixing studs but, these come in the box and are very easy to do.

The main benefit of the rubber one is that it is reusable whereas you are supposed to replace the cork one whenever you take the rocker cover off. I thought I read you need to replace the rocker cover studs for ones with a wider top half when fitting the rubber gasket?

Its either 026198025A or 026198025C depending if you need a part for the shoulder. Dealer should be able to tell you which one you need but make sure you have your VIN handy.
