Hi,
     Originally BSA used alloy washers, have you tried them?

I think it used either a fibre washer or alloy washer depending on the year of the bike. If sealant and a fibre washer haven't worked, you might need to take the cover off to check for damage or cracks around the screws causing the leakage.

I meant aluminium not alloy.

Best wishes...
