Default Thermostat gasket.

Gasket was fine for years, then all the sudden it started spraying all over the place. Replaced it with an OEM 2x, once with Permatex and once without. Then I see the OEM doesn't fit very well, with only about 1/8" of the actual gasket sandwiched between the manifold and houseing. Took the old gasket and found one with the same bolt holes and same I.D. but a larger surface area and cleaned the surfaces again, torqued to 200 in/#. The gasket is not leaking, but it is wet after getting up to temp. So now what?
