You will need to remove that bolt, put a little silicone in the hole, then silicone around the bolt head.
This is the kinda thing that we have to watch out for with aftermarket parts. It’s a very tiny hole that’s broken through, but with 70 psi behind it, it will leak quick.
This is why I prime the oil pump on the stand, before the engine is started. |
Thanks Brent. It did look to me like the oil leak was predominantly around that top left adapter bolt hole.
What happens if the tiny hole that you mention does break through? How is it repaired?
