I have the earlier tappet cover with the flat cork gasket. Mine was also leaking even with a new gasket. Finally realised I was using the cover as the template for gasket and the cover wasn't straight along the top edge. There is so little meat to seal on that a few mm taper meant it wouldn't seal. Made the gasket a perfect rectangle and it worked.
