8Nm. Difficult to judge without. Get it wrong, and they will likely leak again :(

Get the £49.99 3/8 torque wrench which is excellent and will dial down to 8NM.  I cheekily asked if they could knock a bit off the price and they gave me 20% off!

My torque wrench only went down to 10nm, but that seemed to work fine when I did mine...

Covers don't leak, put it that way :) its just the damned head/block seal which does :(
