I would first try the black ultra maximum oil resistant Permatex RTV. That has worked for a lot of us for years. If that still leaks, then I would get a new adaptor off that Summit link. Sometimes you can have a hairline crack that is really hard to see and just replacing the part for $25 is pretty easy. If it still leaks after that, then I would use the UV dye and black light to find the exact spot that it's coming from. I've battled almost every kind of leak on my FE and Cobra for nearly 15 years now and every one of them turned out to be simple after I finally figured them out, but some started off as mystery leaks that seemed impossible. A hairline crack in the metering block took a good year to finally find.
