As there are signs of oil around the spark plugs I decided to order a gasket with intention of replacing it later this year. Bought one described as “original” rather than “after-market”. This is known as camshaft cover gasket and has part number 
Not sure exactly what I was expecting but definitely not a preformed plastic sheet type of thing.
Has anyone fitted one of these, and if so was a sealant of some form used?

I had thought it might be a traditional fibre gasket or a rubber gasket but definitely not a pre-moulded hard plastic sheet.
Any comments please?
