Default Bov gasket boost leak

Yesterday I found my boost leak. Its leaking at the bov gasket. The gasket seems to be in good shape, I tried tightening it down with different screws and nutsbut it did not help, so Im not sure what I have to do to stop the leak. What can be done?

what type of bov is it. And i think if your using the stock flange then you can just get a new gasket to go there then screw it back on. How bad of shape is the gasket on the flange in?

The bov is a greddy type rs, and I'm using a aftermarket flange, not the stock. The gaskets are in good shape, they are still pretty new.

A couple of ideas I had are maybe using two gaskets, or maybe putting onglue or something like that to create a seal? probably stupid ideas I know, but Im anxious to get this thing going again.

well for a last hope attempt, they make a gasket maker, kinda looks like a jb weld tube, you could prolly get it at any local hardware store, id get a new gasket first before i tried this tho

alright man this is easy, get some gasket material for like $5 and cut it to the shape you need, simple as that. or you could even use some RTV with the stock gasket or one you make yourself. simple

NEVER use 2 gaskets to try and solve the problem.
It'll leak worse and f **** up.
bad idea.
Get some gasket material and make you one.
Couldnt be morethan $5 at an auto parts store.
