For all o-rings in an air-cooled 911/930 we've found that Dow 55 out performs everything on the market. Not only is it an exceptional lubricate but the chemical properties of the Dow 55 converts the o-ring slightly to improve crush resistance and swell the seal slight to enhance sealing.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'm at a loss to know why this cover is leaking so badly. I suppose I will find out when I take the cover off to fix it. If you look closely at the pic you will see ball peen hammer marks as if someone has tried to flatten it in the centre. I may seal around the outside lip, just because I can and also because I don't want to come back to this seal anytime soon.
