2011 Bad Boy ZT 60 with 27 hp Kohler engine is leaking oil from valve cover onto muffler.
Any suggestions for best fix? OEM gasket vs Permatex RTV or Permatex Ultra Black Gasket Maker?
Thanks

Original gasket is best bet. Sometimes making sure bolts are snug will cure the leaking.
RTV should not be used unless specified otherwise.

OEM only. If you have to remove the cover down the road and used a liquid gasket, you will be paying for a new valve cover.
