Still leaking but not as bad...any other thoughts?
I attempted adding some rtv form-a-gasket around the figure 8 area. It reduced the leak from a stream to frequent drips. Better but still not right! Pulled it all apart again last night. The rtv full squeezed out between to engine & assembly and peeled off easily.
Any better ideas on next approach? I'm considering cutting out a gasket but don't think I'd get a strong enough seal given the few mounting bolts? Has anyone tried a small metal connection tube (like used for the coolant)? It's seems like I'm the only one who has experience more leaks in this specific area.
Any other thoughts would be appreciated. thanks!
