Valve cover gasket, again!

Replaced VCG last year(Jan 2012) and its leaking again.
Mechanic suggested it might be a defective gasket from Victor Reinz so I'm using BMW OEM now.
I found one the spark plug end of the gasket completely brittle.  Stupidly this actually from the original gasket and I might overlooked this the last time I changed the gasket.
