sorry I cannot add any input, but this sounds like a good opportunity for a DIY writeup (fixing cam cover leaks, correct?), unless someone's already done one that I've not found. but don't worry, man, I know you've got your hands full on the new ride and will probably have your hands full if you're doing this DIY!

What can I use for Cam cover sealant?

Manual Says loctite 5900 or 3 bond 1209

I ordered a bunch of parts from Sunset and forgot the sealant.

Can a good RTV be used instead?

Remember that you will need a special Porsche tool if you remove the cam covers. If you don't HAVE the tool DO NOT REMOVE THE COVERS! Sometimes you can just remove the bolts(one at a time) and re- seal those and this will cure your problem...

Made the special tool, got the new solenoid from Sunset imports (geat service and price) and re-installed cover tonight with loctite 518.
