papa-smurf Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Hey fellas I am on the verge of finishing my first banshee project/rebuild. Behind the oil drain bolt under the engine is two bolts. The bolts on my shee are slowly becoming saturated with my tranny oil and dripping creating a nice tiny puddle in the mornin. What should I be looking for to fix this? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papa-smurf Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 I did not touch the cases. Just the head. Is it something to be really worried about? It will create a half inch to an inch diameter puddle underneath after about 12 or so hours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted June 21, 2010 Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 drain the oil, remove one bolt at a time, and clean it, and the hole with brake cleaner, or anything not leaving a residue, blow it out, and put sealant on the bolt shaft/head, and torque it down. only 1 at a time, though.

papa-smurf Posted June 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2010 Ok will do right now. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa-smurf Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Hey guys..they are still leaking after trying to seal the nuts. The leak is at the two studs under the engine near the oil drain bolt. Do I have to go into the cases and replace gaskets/seals to stop this leak?

fastbanshee8 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 There are no gaskets, or seals for the studs. Are you sure that your drain plug isn't leaking, and running oil onto the studs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
papa-smurf Posted June 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 the oil saturates the studs and drips..there is no oil around the drain bolt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tedd1 Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 Might try some copper washers like on a cool head and some sealant on the threads...? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AKheathen Posted June 27, 2010 Report Share Posted June 27, 2010 oh, i thought you were talking about bolts, lol yah, blue non-hardening rtv on the threads, and on hard washers, or use coper washers. might get it to seal with just adding rtv.
