My motor is leaking oil (just a drop or two on the floor in the garage) where the filler tube meets the case. Looks like an attempt was made to "seal" it with RTV, or perhaps the proper gasket was not at hand when the current engine was installed (it's not the original). Is this a common area of leakage (i.e. maybe there IS a gasket and it leaks anyway, and the RTV was globbed on later as a "fix" ?? Allan |
