When you say gaskets do you mean the rubbers around the light units that meet up with the bodywork? If so I would be interested to know in prices as mine are looking a little perished.
As for the leak, sorry can't offer any help other than they sound like a sensible place to start.2002 '52 S54 - Titanium Silver with 18" BBS LMs, AP Racing BBK, KW V3, H&R anti roll bars & ACS flippers (previously 2000 'X' S50 - Arctic Silver)

vaseline smeared around the cracked parts, will repel the water as a temp fix till you get new gaskets.
(would have said rubbers, but along with vaseline, might sound a bit sexual )

Mine are a little cracked but for that price they can stay like it!2002 '52 S54 - Titanium Silver with 18" BBS LMs, AP Racing BBK, KW V3, H&R anti roll bars & ACS flippers (previously 2000 'X' S50 - Arctic Silver)
