Just a quick one! Do these use a gasket for each cover or is it just sealant? One of mine seems to be weeping slightly towards the corner  , just want to know so i can grab one tomorrow or just use the sealant i've already got. Thanks in advance!

gasket for each one. would avoid sealant if you stretch to the part - just go careful when fitting and follow the recommended torque settings

Which cover? As the the 138 uses a simple gasket for the upper and sealer for the lower
Ps forget the torque settings, they are sweet fa anyway
Just make sure you go in an outward spiral

Its the upper one. I've no idea about the 138 but this looks as though it does have some sort of rubber gasket. Will sort one out tomorrow any way and report back!

Just to update this, got and fitted both today, rubber gaskets as expected. Got both for about £15 quid so all is good now!
