I was wondering if this is a common problem like the rocker box gaskets.
I have 12000 miles on her now.

Mine lasted around 13000 miles ('00 X1). I think bikes which tend to sit for a long time (like 1200 miles in 8 years) have more gasket/seal problems than the ones ridden regularly. Just an observation.

so you take the starter gasket, moisten it,
and then it grows into a complete gasket set?.....

The starter gasket is one of many common leaks on the tubers

I never thought I'd get mine 100% leak free but cometic gaskets did the trick - they simply do not leak!
