it wasnt leaking so bad on my first setup....but now its like a puddle in the morning....

i have alot of rtv and toyota sealant on it must have been when i re attached the oil return i(while tightening it) probably rip the sealant.....



possible solution..cutting away all the old sealant and putting new rtv red.....or jbweld?


your solutions?

 

Post a pic...

What I did was mine was I used the red RTV sealant to thread the fitting in. After that had settled, I used JB-weld around the fitting and "welded" it to the pan. No leaks at all.

 

ugh but that stuff takes 24 hours...right? or can i used jb quick because i dont need a strong weld just a seal..

 

Just leave it overnight - preferably with a lamp next to it so it stays warm and cures faster.

Plus the recommended 24hr is for parts that take a lot of stress.. like an engine block. I think you'll be fine - I think I had let me sit for only 10 hrs before I tried it.

 

have it welded if you can.. i have a very little leak somewhere where the bung was welded, its just enough to moisten the pan, im gonna try to put some jb weld on it sometime

 

take it off head to a muffler shop get it welded put it back on and for gasket use the stuff called "the right stuff" it dosent run and drys fast it comes in a cheese wiz like can

 

but isnt the tap aluminum so the weld is expensive

 

JB Weld and be done with it man.

Go to Walmart - takes 20 mins tops probably to get there and back.

Mix the two tubes - takes a couple of minutes - apply and leave a lamp there next to the fitting overnight.

Tomorrow you'll be fine.

 

well ima going to do this tomorrow morning as i dont have to fight with the 7pm darkness

 

Now-a-days they have these nifty things called "flashlights". They work wonders..




Get to it!

 

haha i dont have any that can light it up good enough ....ill just let it oil away on the street its not on my driveway =] then in morning ill drain the pan so oil doesnt seep as i try to jb it..

 

cant weld aluminum to steel, you have to get a steel bung if you wanna weld it to the pan.. JB weld will be your best option
