Don't make a gasket at that location. Use the preferred Loctite 515
sealant per the maintenance manual. If you use a gasket at that
location, you will set the cover too far away from the oil pump
rotor, and probably lose oil pressure. Follow the recommended
procedures in the manual.
What serial number is your engine?

Chris, I just got to thinking about something else.....if your engine
only has 20-some hours on it, it could be that the rings haven't
seated yet, and pressure is getting by the rings and putting excess
pressure inside the crankcase. I know you'd like to not have any
leaks, but if you put some hours on the engine, maybe the rings will
seat, and your seepage will go away all by itself.
Also, keep a good eye out for the valve clearances...mine were
getting too loose, too often.

Thank you Lynn,
I have thought about that also. I have done the valve adjustments per the manual
along with the heads and the last check at 15hrs all were good.My next check
is at 25hrs along with an oil change.It is very little,but there.The engine runs
great...I have been very impressed with the power it has on my M3X.I will
wait awhile before I do anything.What about oil?....I have used AeroShell 15-50
forever in my 172's O-320-e2d with terrific luck....what is your opinion on
that...??

Chris,
? I recall someone one on the list mentioned that they had an oil pump cover that
had a hole in it.It was leaking through the cover not around it.I never heard
any more about it but it sounded like it had a thin spot in the aluminum.Just
a thought.
