Probably some would squeeze inside just like it did on the outside, but not "drip". Just like it didn't drip on the outside. I think the reason you are supposed to put the gasket on the inside is to prevent oil from filling the bolt holes. Makes sense. I just followed Porsche's recommended placement per that diagram I put in the video.
