I too had the warped clutch cover, previous owner replaced o ring and used silicone. Still wept. From what I've read the only sure fire way to resolve this is to replace the clutch cover.

I did so and the leak's stopped, using correct torqueing and sequence of tighteneing, (10nm) screwdriver tight, criss cross pattern. Thoughts are a lot of warping and case splitting can be caused by over tighteneing.

I wouldn't waste time trying to seal an already warped cover, just source a new one.

Good luck.

Bob.
