I agree that it is not good to aggressively apply any type of sealer to the edges of the o/d filer. Others have also tried using metal sealing washers that have a neoprene/rubber inner ring where it meets the bolt with some success. I looked and do have Permatex #2 which I would only have bought for that purpose.įrom different videos I conservative on putting compounds on there only because J Twist and others mention it could gum up the OD. I believe I tried something like that before on advice from a MG mechanic. I've given up however, with the wealth of knowledge here I wondered if someone has heard of this and a possible cure?Īpply a little bit of Permatex #2 around the bolt holes, then insert the bolts. Replaced the solenoid gasket while I was there. I bought a new screen/gasket and carefully cleaned and replaced but that didn't resolve it. It appears to be coming through the bolts holding the main plate on. The one issue I can't seem to resolve is the OD leaks. OD works fine and even had new synchos put in last time.
