AARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!!!!

        I Really did not want to hear this...for Forty years I have 
been lusting over having an Cast Aluminum VC, and one that did not 
leak Oil, so I have just purchased (but not received) a Cast VC (from 
Moss) and a Silcone Gasket (from Justin).
        Now I have to decide...do I want Pretty...or do I want 
Oily???  Please let there be someone who will tell me that I can have 
both.  Justin??  Fred?? Andrew??
