Yep: That's the spot. I don't think they leak really. I call it weep. Oil
just seems to seep around the crank case and the oil plate. I tried the
Hylomar
once and it didn't ooze a drop between oil changes. The next time I didn't use
it and back to weeping oil. Last time I changed oil I tried Hylomar again. and
again no leaking. I've got it on there right now, have put about 1,500 miles
on
this oil change and it has been sitting in the garage over a clean floor for
about 2 months now and not a sign of any oil around the plate. Hylomar is sort
of expensive (about $7-$8 for a small tube) and it is blue and rather sticky.
I
put a bead around both sides of each gasket when I am putting the screen and
plate back on. It also worked on the bottom plate on the steering sector box
on
my bus which had been leaking badly.

That sounds like a rock star’s name “Sammy Hylomar”.
Anyway, Sammy, did you say once that you used hylomar around the screen and it
stopped leaking there. Are you talking about the disk that hold the oil drain
plug? The one with all the brass bolts? I am being specific because I don’t
know
many engines that don’t leak there. If it does I’ll start using it.
