oil leak from sandwich adapter?

[acr]

I have already put alot of teflon tape and can't seem to stop a small leak, any other suggestions???

Duct tape, for sure. But in all reality, we would need to know where it's leaking from.

Glow shift sells the oil seal where the sandwich hits the motor I think its like 2 bux for one. When is the last time you changed it?? Also make sure to use pipe goop on the threads not teflon tape as that was my issue. The teflon cant handle the oil as it eats it.


I got rid of mine as I was sick of the hassle and Im running everything to the back of the block now.

where the return line goes into the side of the adapter, Does duct tape really work? Its just a small leak once I stop the car it will drip like 3 drop or so, but its driving me crazy. Well I can't run mine to the back of the block beacuse this is for a oil cooler and as far as I know I have to use a sandwich adapter.

ARP sells some good stuff. Works much better than teflon tape.

Yea Ive used the pipe goop and its worked the best for me. Just make sure you let it cure correctly and you should have no problems. Or try the Arp I am not familiar with it so I dont know.

The ARP stuff is a thread sealant paste. You just put it on, and you are good to go. There was no cure time listed. I ran the car very shortly after putting it on (within an hour probably), and no leaks after, what, over two years now?

These Teflon® based sealers have a rust and corrosion inhibitor. In aluminum, steel, stainless steel, and plastic, they deliver a flexible, leakproof seal against coolants, water, gasoline, natural gas, and LPG. These sealers will be effective from -30 to 550 degrees F, and have a sealant range of 10,000 psi.

Awesome thanks for the link!!

Yup. I actually also used it on my new oil pressure sensor for the Neon. Covered teh threads with it, screwed the sensor in, and drove it. No problems after more than a year. It's a bit of money, but hasn't failed me yet.
