The sealer gets sucked into the leak. Do a search in the archives and you should be able to find the specific Loctite product to use.

My mech put on, very tightly, a sort-of plastic tape substance (with no air bubbles) - three years ago and I've had no leaks since. Will get the name of the stuff if you want it, but it looks like very basic stuff. If your actual tank is leaking elsewhere then I suppose (sort of obvious) this won't work for you without taking all the bolts out, anyway. Tom In a message dated 9/16/2009 5:04:42 P.M.
