small flywheel cover leak

[yukonerdave]

Hey guys

I changed the oil last weekend and noticed that the bottom of the flywheel cover was leaking oil. It is not enough to leave more than a drop or two on my garage floor when she's sitting for a couple nights, but I would like to eliminate it. I put a new gasket on the cover when I had it off in the spring. Just wondering if I can add a bit of sealant (RTV?) on the bottom part of the gasket to get a better seal (after opening it up). Thanks

No, no sealant. Make sure both gasket surfaces are completely clean. Evenly tighten the bolts and torque to spec.

Are you sure it's from there and not the stator grommet?
