Also clean your breathers.
If they're blocked the gasket will start to leak again

I'm probably only down the road from you, as in the area to.  And would of offered my help, but as I'm no expert & would of refered to a manual (though pretty much simple enough), I wouldn't want to do the job & worry if I've done it properly for you chap.  Welung is a pretty helpful chap, so sure as he's already done this job it'll be done quicker than I would.

PS = Yep general opinion is use genuine gaskets if you want to reduce the chances of it leaking again so soon !.
