Oil leak from Camshaft sprocket cover

Hi guys

My 04 350z seems to be leaking oil from the sprocket cover. I have opened and revealed this twice by cleaning out the silicone and redoing it.

Also my oil pressure gauge now sits to the far right beyond 8

Anyone help on this will really be appreciated

Thanks
Shaylan

looks like a rubber o ring gasket goes in there? i'd clean it again and let it cure for a day or 2 then drive.

Pretty sure the cam cover is supposed to have a single use gasket.

How is the fiber ring/ washer that is on the shaft of the cam cover?? Saw a thread in which the guy's rings got pinched and it effected the oil pressure. Let me go look for it. Hang on.
