I got a little bit of oil leaking from where I drilled the holes in the oil pan for the return line. I tightened the bolts, but it still leaks. was wondering if some of that metal glue (or whatever it is called) the one you mold on and it solidifies. would that work?
any ideas??

I had the same problem. I ended up droping my pan, dismantling the entire return line setup, redoing the entire thing and sealing the heck out of it with RTV. Doesn't leak anymore.

don't really want to take it all off, that bitch was a painto take off!
you think if I put some of that RTV sealant around the fitting it would work??

probably not. Once it leaks out..its out.

You'll need to drop da pan...besides, it gets easier and easier the more you dismantle it so look in the bright side..the next time you have to take that bish out it will be 2x easier! :)

JB Weld. Works wonders.

I'll try that then, some jb weld or something like that around the return fitting and see if that seals it.
