Thread: New found oil leak

the sensor that connects you to the sadder days.

Got my adapter today, and the gauges should be here tomorrow! Vadim, why did you RTV it? I thought teflon tape was the standard for threaded applications?

I'm sorry if this comes out wrong, but that's one of the smartest things I ever heard you say.



I've learned a viable lesson while working on my paintball guns. Teflon tape is not a sealant. It's more of a lubricant. Not to mention the high temperatures

I used the red sealant, which is high heat oil pan sealant. Now days I use the Grey stuff, which is what OEM uses for gaskets. I would go to the parts store and compare which one would be better for your application.

Gray for sure is the better choice. I hate the red stuff.
