You did well to get 22.5k out of yours. Mine lasted 40 km, that's not a typo it was 40 km and 1 day old before oil pissed out of the gasket. It was fixed under warranty but I was still unhappy that it leaked.

Mine was noticeably 'ill-fitting' right from new - gasket looked like it had been stretched or even squashed in and wasn't properly seated in it's channel so maybe I am lucky it lasted this long!!
...and yet.... mine is original, nearly 90,000 kms, been off and back on at least four times (that I can think of) for --- err -- "engine attention."

Mine started to weep a bit about 2 months ago found all the exhaust side bolts finger tight nipped up and all good but I wonder if the exhaust side works loose because of the heat, intake side was perfect tension.

Apparently mine was caused by a crease or fold in the gasket when it was being assembled. The oil was running down the side of the engine after 40km. I just hope that is the only quality control failure I have.
