Looking for some advice on how to repair my 1999 EVC's 12 valve VR6 valve cover gasket which is leaking. The gasket is metal and is integrated into the valve cover. Back in the day you'd buy a new cover which came with the gasket. As you may have guessed you can't buy a new replacement anymore. I am trying to determine the best course of action. Hunt down a used cover with gasket that seems to be in good enough condition, modify a cover or gasket from a different model VW, or get creative with my current cover and the best choice sealant. Many of our EVs, EVCs, and T4s will likely be needing this fix but it has been some yeas since you could source the part.?

For reference, this video sums up the situation well, but I can't find info on if the creator's fix held up over time. https://youtu.be/kjqYDa20bMo?t=62

What have y'all done? Who has a recommendation? Or who found a fix that held up?
