Welcome back!

My 95 has not starting leaking yet (knock on wood) My friends 94 started leaking at 112K. Maybe it wasn't torqued tight enough? Maybe the gasket just sucks?
What if you applied a little bit of high temp RTV gasket maker to the new gasket? Maybe it would prevent it from leaking in the future. Just a bit though so it doesn't get into the oil/coolant. Good luck.
