If it leaks you screwed something up, or you got a gasket with a hole in it. I never replace mine unless they need it and they last almost forever.. On my Ponton, the valve cover, where it meets the gasket in one place was soooo sharp I thought it could cut tru the gasket. Might check that. Most likely it fell out of place when you had the cover upside down or you clamped a vacuum line in there. Do it again, go slow , be really careful and use some grease on the gasket for sealing and be sure to wipe the head super clean. Max

Is it that difficult to chang it right? He says there is a trick? Only use a mercedes brand gasket? My driveway would love it to stop.

Valves have been adjusted within last 1000 miles so I know it is not that. Fuel filter also changed 100 miles ago. Car is smoking so I know she is getting Fuel.
