Safe bet when replacing the rocker/cam cover to replace the gasket.  They don't cost a lot.

Have you switched over to a rubber gasket as well and not changed the studs? Need ones without the shoulder if using the rubber gasket that has metal collars around the holes.

Lol, I did the very same thing a few month back. Rather than paying out for another gasket, I just removed the metal rings from the mk3 gasket, fits a treat. As mad as it sounds, put a dab of oil on your finger and lightly oil the gasket before you bolt it all bk down (15ft/lbs ;-}) as it helps seal it all back up!
