Owen Thanks,
I never saw any evidence of oil leaking and it was dry when I pulled it out, and I had been running the engine just prior to pulling it. I was thinking the same as you, that it is probably needed more to keep dirt, water or? from getting in than oil getting out.

Are You thinking cork is better because Paper or garlok won't compress enough? Cork is a lot tougher to cut correctly, especially cutting a circle within a circle. I spent quite a lot of time cutting one recently for my tractor.
