About the valve cover (maybe you already have this?)...

Try to stay away from the cork type gaskets which are usually more than one piece gaskets. Crap. And they leak a lot.

Highly recommended to use the one-piece rubber gasket, great quality, no leaks, you`ll see. Usually available as `GOETZE`, FCPEuro and Am@zon have it for sale.
See them both, here:

Yes, the shitty leaky ones are cheaper... but not reusable VS the rubber 1-piece gasket that IS reusable, @ $25-30.
I think it will be hard to me finding that coolant, much easier the G12 coolant, but thanks for your help!
I always use 100% G12 in my TDI with perfect results, and with no corrosion at all. Do you think that way is correct for the D24T or will be better mixing it with distiiled water?

First thing i did for fixing that valve cover oil leak was buying the good rubber gasket and tightening nuts to 10Nm, after reading about it in this forum, it is so much better! It's the same kind of gasket that TDIs have.
