Here we go again...
Seems there's no paper gasket here, just a gasket maker of some sort. My parts engine has the same so I assume that it's supposed to be that way.
However, it is leaking at idle. So I must assume it's leaking like a bastard at WOT haha. The leak is on the starboard side of the engine, right in between the stator connections and the starter mounting bracket. I did find a slightly loose bolt also leaking and torqued it down a bit, but still leaking.
Am I looking at a full tear down and re-seal at this point?
Please see attached video, it's not the clearest but you'll get the gist....
