Air Control Valve

Replaced the power steering on my 430. Broke the Air control valve in the process. Replaced it with a new one from the Amazon seller Tilscience and noticed a leak from the bottom of the housing, depicted in the thread image. Sealed it with Lexus’ form-in-place-gasket (FIPG), and started getting fluid out of the top being sucked into the intake, causing white smoke being exhausted during start up. Reviewed some threads on Lexus forums and to my analysis it seems the seals may be faulty. Has anyone experienced this with their Lexus?
