I have now taken a more drastic approach on the oil leak at the bolt. I wrapped the threads in Poly-Temp XHD and used GASOILA thread sealant. This was recommened by my neighbor who builds high presssure vessel systems that regularly see 10,000psi. He said this stuff will be good to 550F and I won't have a leak. Similar to what was being done, just very high end stuff.

Well that didn't work. Still have a small amount of oil leaking from this freaking bolt. I am at a loss as what to do. Weld a stud in there?

good old teflon tape? maybe cheap will work?

I did wrap it in Teflon tape. First tried the cheapo stuff, then went to the Poly Temp-XHD. Still leaking.
Tried HondaBond, blue rtv, red rtv, teflon tape, teflon paste, pro teflon tape and pro paste. Fing thing just wants to leak.
