Hello,

Any time you have a leaking gasket the best option is to replace it. And while installing the new one, use proper torque to tighten it.

Also, you want to use a good quality sealant while installing the new part.

I have attached the replacement procedure including the torque specifications below.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
