HELP Water Leak from gasket behind engine front cover plate at 5.30

Hi,
Appreciate a little advice if possible please,
have a small pinhole leak that loses a fair bit of water when running from the above area,
is there a GOOD SEALANT that would work ??? as can't afford at present to get this fixed as a large job it seems,
have tried a few and some did work for quite a few weeks,but unfortunately it's back again shooting a small water jet.
Many thanks,
Pete
P.S 2000 V8 DISCO ES

Sounds like a nice Saturday job that; if you have nothing else to do!
