Along with most LD9 owners. Mine leaks on the spark plug side of the exhaust cam tower.

As for the gasket, I know I should just go with polyurethan ones, but where to buy? and also is there a big difference in price VS stock ones?
It's just because it's a common leak, nothing to do with boosting or not; it's your camshaft tower cover gasket. Just make sure it's not twisted or an thing when you put the new one in, it's just like a wiggly line gasket that sits in a cutout.
