need help im leakin everywhere
 
Guy i need some other solutions.... im leakin oil all over the ------ place >:( i tried jb welding around the oil connections and im still leakin somwhere... i used jb quick weld... i think i am gonna try this Permatex High temp sealant..... they say to undo the fittings and put it on the threads like pipe dope.... u think i should use pipedope and this stuff.. also should i put around all the outside of the fitting... will that help seal? it says it is pressure resistant and temp reisistant up to 600 degrees..... any other stuff you guys use?

make sure when you are doing this there is no oil, use some break cleaner to clean it all off. i welded a fitting to my oil pan and hooked a hose up havent seen any problems yet

where is the oil originating from? the oil pan? the oil pressure sensor?

Try tephlon tape on any threaded joints dealing with oil, will help to seal it in, also make sure you're torqueing any joints down tight and check for rusted out parts to.

ALWAYS use teflon tape on EVERY fitting.

for a whole $1 worth of material is saves ALOT of headaches.

Make sure your threading the teflon tape on the right way so it doesn't just bunch up at the end of the fitting when you try to tighten it.
