Leaking oil return tube
 

What's the secret to sealing a oil return tube? Can't get mine to stop seeping. I am using new cork gaskets and copper washers.

Could it be leaking where the tube joins the dome shape end cap? I think the seam is soldered or brazed, might be a split there.

I had the same problem and tried the cork / copper gasket approach to seal the leak. Still leaked at the lower end. Black silicone solved the problem. Not Henry Ford, but it works for me. BW

Mine is leaking on the top side where the cork gasket is.

I have found the valve cover casting cracked in that area both at the top and/or bottom. Gar Williams
