When I first got my B it didn't leak a bit. I had to replace the cam
shaft.
When I pulled it all apart I found sealant everywhere.
When I reassembled it, I cleaned all of the surfaces and assembed it
without sealant, just using the gaskets and a bit of oil.
I can now say that my MG leaks like a proper English car.
YMMV.
