I was told by the dealer that they improved the gasket and that the
screws should also be changed out for longer ones at $0.91 each. I re-
used my old ones...but mine leaked. I don't think it was because of
my short screws as the only loose screws were the ones in my head
that didn't read the diagonal torquing instructions.
