The engine cover on my car has gaskets on each side that help to keep dust out. I just fixed a leak that was soaking the one that rests on the top of the right side valve cover. Because of its constant oil bath it was swelled so much that it doesn't fit into the groove in the underside of the engine cover while the other side fits just fine. I've wiped it down with a rag but haven't done anything else. I'm going to hit it with some Greased Lighting to remove as much oil as I can but I don't think that's going to do much.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get this rubber gasket to shrink back to the size it should be?
