The fix is what I described up above. Put some silicone in the hole, put some under the bolt head and washer.

I also think you could get a short 5/16-18 set screw, coat it in silicone, then screw it all the way in until it bottoms out, then bolt the adapter on.
Brent, does this fix the oil adapter leaks on just the BBM blocks or does it also apply to OEM SO blocks? I don't think my Precision Oil Pump adapter has any stress cracks so either my steel hydraulic hose fittings are leaking or it's coming from the upper left bolt.
