Not sure on the sealant thought it came with the bits if there genuine VX parts :-/ Don't forget to clean them breathers or you'll be cganging the gaskets again in a short while :y

is there just the one breather at the rear right hand side of the cover ? i did notice when i squeezed that breather i could see more oil weeping from the cover seal.

As per the guide, there is a block to cover breather at the rear right and then 2 cover to inlet breathers (one pre and one post throttle) on the left of the cam cover.

Follow the breather cleaning gude.
