Re: Rear Servo Leak

I did not think you meant silicon... I was sure that would not be a good thing, since I think the fluid would seap past it anyways....
I did not use any gasket sealer. I think it will be fine, since I have never used any gasket sealers on these covers in the past....

A side note: I have the overflow tube above the servo cover. It had a tube clamp on the top bolt on the servo cover.

I think that is where the leak was. I noticed with the tube clamp on there, that bolt was not as tight, because wen that bolt goes tight, the tube clamp calked. To keep it straight when I have the motor out, I did not tighten that screw as much.

So, I did not install the tube clamp, and I was able to get that screw a lot tighter then it was.
