Roger,

"A colleague suggests that Permatex form a gasket aviation stuff - liquid sealant in a tin .." 

If you use this you may not be able to get it loose again.

A friend used it on his oil pan, when we went to remove it, it was brutal.

no leaks though.

 

There is also a Boiler (heat) high temp pressure sealant.

BJ8 with MT 90 oil in transmission.

I am struggling with an oil leak from the drain plug on my transmission.

The tapered thread plug, not the brass OD one.

On my last attempt I carefully cleaned the plug and the case thread.

Then used used that white Permatex thread sealant.

Little improvement.

Kept tightening with lot more torque with 16in breaker bar plus pipe.

Some minor improvement.

Fearing damage, now reluctant to do any more tightening.

A colleague suggests that Permatex form a gasket aviation stuff - liquid sealant in a tin ...

Is this a common issue - maybe a new plug ?

Ideas please and your collective wisdom appreciated.
