Hi
The oil filter housing gasket it gone on my mrs compact with m43 lump. Common problem apparently! Question is I'm doing it this week. It's a Paper gasket, question is should I whack on some gasket sealer too or just put on the gasket??
Thanks.

there are also some rubber seals iirc. Make sure everything is scrupously clean and just a smear of grease to hold everything in place. A straightforward but tedious job :(
