Mine is leaking on the driver side, I'm just going to replace them on both sides.

The driver side seems to be the one that always leaks somewhat and well last night it really started leaking.

I've heard of doubling up the cork gaskets (can't do it with rubber), but I was thinking of just running a thin line of rtv around the lip of the valve pan and then putting the new gasket on.
