Hi all.
Have had a persistent oil leak around the big casting plug on my lower engine case. I've tried external repair using JB Weld which slowed it down, but still it persists.
Long story short I have now pulled the motor and have the offending case off the engine. All cleaned up, I tested the area by pouring a little oil around the plug on the inside of the case and left it to sit for a while. Sure enough, the leak appeared again. So now I know exactly where the problem is.
My question is, what next?
Is it safe to try and weld a repair? Would an application of JB Weld on the inside of the case be safer or a threat to clean oil in the future?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
