just replace them all, its worth it in the end. It is very common for them to break their seal.....or if your hard up for cash..... buy some gasket maker and just use that around the old ones.

DO NOT USE ANY GASKET SEAL IN A TUBE FOR ANY OF THOSE PARTS NAMED,excp. maybe the cam capseal it is cheapper to replace then use sealer and over time it will just make it worse

ding ding ding!! i had a leak that sounds just like that and i replaced all those, except the distributor o-ring cuz i'm lazy, and it was fixed! lemme know if you wanna buy that o-ring from me since i never used it, its oem.
