the gaskets are cheap enough and it's an easy DIY such that it makes sense to just swap the gaskets and see how it goes. The torque spec of 7 or 8 ft lbs is impressively small - you really need to torque wrench one or two to see just how small. It would be no surprise to me if the majority of leaks after repair are from overtightening.

What torque wrench do you use that has such small values? I've looked, and the lowest I've seen starts at 10 lbs/ft. Thanks
