Apart from a slight weep from one valve cover, say about 6 drips per hour, which nothing I've tried to date can stem, there's no evidence of even the slightest leaks from the other locations which you mention. Your explanation about burping / gurgling is a new one on me. I've always done it slowly and steadily and at the start of the day it takes about 15 compressions to get the desired result. So I guess that means quite well sealing compression rings I've long since learned that to get a fairly accurate oil level reading from my engine, burp / gurgle IMMEDIATELY after the last flight of the day, then wait until the next day to look at the dipstick. Works for me!

Doing the burping first then coming back to check level after the DI is completed seems to work well for oil level checking. After resealing more than a few early style 912 valve covers I am convinced they suffer from porosity.
