Can the oil thermostat cover gasket be purchased?
Looking for a replacement for this gasket:
I just installed a used cooler with OFH and T stat and had a leak here: I’m not surprised it leaked I should never have opened it but I wanted to clean up the parts I bought, lol. Anyway I sealed it with RTV for now and then spent some time googling and can’t find a part number for that gasket. |

I was wondering about this as I am starting to develop a leak at that gasket. Have changed both other OFHG gaskets but I can definitely see it is coming from that spot as there is only a little oil residue around around that plate. Looks like I might have to use silicone to try to seal it.

BMW doesn't sell this gasket separately apparently, but there are 3rd party suppliers who sell a neat billet alloy cover which comes with a gasket

It leaked in less than a week and I ended up buying an aftermarket cover with gasket that hasn’t leaked since.

Do you by any chance know the thickness of the gasket? |

I had to find this seal when I was installing the Oil tstat on my 128i. A round seal works just fine in the octagon groove. Had it installed since March 2020 with no leaks.
43mm OD, 3mm thick o-ring

Would you be able to snap a close up pick of the mating area with the cover on? |

Here's a pic with the cap on, all of the other pictures with the cap off were from when I installed it last year.
