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.

dont use thread lock.. just use some teflon. white stuff..

My threads were fucked on my block! so i used teflon and it still leaked so i used JB WELD! No more leaks! i just hope it never needs to come off again!

also i didn't realize it but for a few seconds i was running a tad over 2 quarts in there.... i didn't know i was loosing any oil, good thing i caught it when i did

if you want to be really sure wait at least 24+ hours

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 *** shop that sells earl's fittings and all kinds of ---- in so cal) doesnt recommend teflon tape because it ***** up the threads

well the lock thread and sealant blowed ***.. so i JB welded it
