   right no where does gasket for either so went to gsf and paid £13 for a tube big enough to do both, made sure i cleaned down both sides before applying and degreased applied evenly. waited the 30mins to dry before filling up took it for a spin and oil is pissing out every where! whats the best silcone to use? as need to use car today

   Pretty sure we used loctite gasket sealer when fitting my cam ladders, give that a god but leave it for a good few hours/overnight before using the car.
   
   I doubt half hour would have given it time to dry/go off.
