They do that sometimes. The cover houses the alternator and pick up coil for the ignition system so those are the seals that work in conjunction with the gasket to keep the crankcase oil in the engine and are part of the wiring harness that runs through them..
You'll need another gasket then thoroughly clean and reseal those pass thrus with good silicone sealer.





NEVER PUT SILICONE AROUND seals .it breaks down in do time been there did that.won't do it again "no silicone sealer.mo
