I had a leaky cam plate on the BRZ that I just picked up, so I got a Raceseng cam plate to fix it. Even after reinstalling it several times I still have a small leak that accumulates at the bottom of the bottom corner of the plate and drips onto the exhaust manifold. I've tried installing it exactly per the instructions, with oiling the o ring, without oiling the o ring, and the guys at raceseng even recommended putting a ring of RTV all the way around the opening. They ended up sending me a new cam plate in case the first one was somehow warped, same deal.

On this most recent install, I noticed the little black rubber rib at the bottom of the opening isn't completely connected for the first 1/4". What does it do, does this matter?
