Oil feed leaking, thread lock and sealant?
 

Hey i started up my civic for the first time in 8 months and i have a bad leak with my oil feed line... could be cuz i didn't use any type of sealant :) but will some Thread lock and silicone sealant work for this?? need to know asap!!!!!!!!

I have the same problem. If it's the block fitting just use teflon tape. Unless your threads are totally fucked and cross threaded this should work. ;)

i use loctite. never had a problem with it. only takes a couple minutes to dry. never leaked for me. used it for a lot of ----. oh and TMR(big ass shop that sells earl's fittings and all kinds of ---- in so cal) doesnt recommend teflon tape because it fucks up the threads
