Are the threads all good where they attach? I had to helicoil mine on one sled. If they are good and they are leaking anyway I would put some gasket sealer on both side of the gasket and then it won't leak. Permatex would work or high temp silicone if you want to be certain there is no chance at all of it leaking.
when put a new one on it will last for about 150 miles with no leaking at least not noticed then ill noticed less power and open the hood and see oil from it
ok thanks for the tip i will try that next time
