Is it tomorrow yet,
Next oil change you might try one of the "high mileage" oil blends, on the market these days. They have seal conditioners mixed in that can help soften and rejuvenate old hard seals and gaskets. Might not work, doesn't cost much to try.
Most people use a rubber o-ring there instead of a gasket. It is thicker. I think gggGary bought mass quantities one time, The gasket I use is like 1/8" thick, so if I had that problem I'd have to enlarge the hole in the gasket only
Not necessarily, the "high mileage" oils are formulated for older engines "leak stop" additives added, not friction modifiers.I believe those "high mileage" blends have friction modifiers added to them, not good for our wet clutches. If the label says "energy conserving" don't use it.

throw that away and get a tube of permatex motoseal 1 . Better in ways that haven't even occurred to us yet, plus a shelf life like forever. I've had mine for close to 10 years and it's like new.hi temp silicon sealant
