Many thanks for all the suggestions.

  

 I emailed Jihostroj (maker) who said they stopped making this model in 2003  and wanted to see pictures of the oil leak.

  

 MT Propellor (distributor) suggested using 2 gaskets. No metal plate  is needed on this governor-engine combination.

  

 I ended up replacing the gasket (p/n MS914401, available at Spruce and  Aviall). This time I painted Perfect Seal gasket sealant on both sides of  the gasket and torqued to about 125 inch pounds. After about a hour of touch and  goes, it remains leak free.

  

 I sprayed dye penetrant developer on the governor and engine to help  detect the leak. Spraying through a short piece of pipe helped to limit  overspray.
