I have gone through my BW35 rather thoroughly and fitted a new pan gasket. As supplied it was composition cork, about 3/32" thick. I sealed on both sides with aviation permatex and torqued the fasteners to whatever the shop manual said. Now I find that I am getting seepage (enough to drip) from the gasket, even though it is squashed fairly tight.
I am also getting drips out of the rear seal, even though it was also installed new. (And yes, I lubed the flange shaft with ATF before fitting.)
Suggestions? Are some gaskets better than others? I hate leaks.
Thanks!
