So the winner of this week's "Who knows more about Fiats than A.J." competition is Beek.
I changed the cork gaskets for rubber ones and have driven the car about 30 miles in 2 days with no oil leaks.
Although the "Who knows more about Fiats than A.J." is not a small club I have to thank Beek for the advice that I was not hopeful about. It is amazing how fun the car can get when it finally works!

I have the same problem on the exhaust side cover and it has the cork gasket, the intake side has the rubber gasket and does not leak. So where did you get the rubber gasket? I have looked all over and can only find the cork ones. I have even replaced the stud and nut with no luck.I changed the cork gaskets for rubber ones

Re: Still leaking oil
Thanks, I couldn't tell from their photo.
I wish I could get a rubber gasket for my oil pan (1970 1438cc) then I would have all my little leaks solved.
