Then you haven't done it right. I have done a several dozen WE mags with blue gasket and none have come back to me. I store them gassed, empty, wet and/or dry without leaks. I have pre-oiled propane tanks that I don't even regularly use anymore as I clean and lube my gun regularly. Periodically will use oily gas to lube the valves but that's it.

If you are still using the stock square seal, then you aren't embedding it properly. Either get rid of it as per z0ng's tutorial or make sure it's well coated on both sides. I typically keep the seal as a spacer and lay a bead of gasket maker on both the cover and the mag. Also, avoid over tightening the 4 screws on the cover when curing. You can alway tighten them up after it has cured.
