I have changed the seals and crush washer of the oil strainer twice and I continue to have an oil leak. I cleaned the area and rechecked and it appears to be coming from were the lid and the engine case meet.
I used a little Permatex High Tack Gasket Sealant, but no help. I have been careful not to over tighten the crush washer (twice). Is it okay to seal the lid with Permatex Gasket Maker? Has anyone had to do this, also can there be another reason for this? If it is alright to use a gasket maker is Permatex the way to go? I understand these engine leak oil, but I think the puddle that I am getting is too much for a day or two. thanks, Fern |

don't trust your 'feels like i need to tighten it a bit more' on the strainer cover. use your torque wrench. look at fig 18.14 p32 in your haynes manual. you'll see the strainer housing and the stud with the eye on what would be the top side retaining stud. over tighten and you can break the case where the eye retaining bolt lives. then you will have a PERMANENT leak.

You can cause MAJOR damage by over tightening. |
