Any time two pieces of metal that fluids or air flow through meet there is potential for leaks. A gasket is placed between these two pieces of metal before they are fastened together, which then fills in the gaps and prevents leaks. It’s a simple concept, but a lot of chemical and mechanical engineering has gone into gasket design, as well as designing the material they are made out of, to ensure gaskets can hold up to the demands of modern engines, which are very different than they used to be. Of course, the older a vehicle is the greater the need for specialized gasket technologies, since as an engine ages the potential for leaks is much greater.
