May be the Orings at the bottom of the liners?

  If you use a genuine head gasket you do not need any selant. If you require
  selant for a head gasket something is wrong. Genuine gaskets dont fail for
a
  long time and I have never ever used a sealing compound.

  Dean,
  FWIW, I too, have used Reinz gaskets w/o sealant for years, never had a
problem.  But my "new" 2 liter with Reinz gasket promptly dumped coolant into
the sump.  I don't know what's happening, but there must be a reason for this
epidemic of coolant in the oil.

  I'll be putting in a new head gasket with sealant next week.

  Cheers,
