Try a teflon gasket or a o-ring. CrimsonThunder&nbsp\\;were talking about banjo bolts not guitars.

Yeah its leaking&nbsp\\;\\\\\\;between Banjo bolt head and breather manifold.
Wow, I read it but went right over my head. Teflon won't help this. Try to find a gasket.

Posting sucks. might need to just find a flat rubber for anything and just cut something out.

Iam just going to take the kit off clean the oil off and reinstall with the locktite on the threads. If it still leaks ill try a gasket.

Lock tite won't help as it isn't leaking at that end, my fault.

Get a gasket like an exterior outlet gasket. Cut a hole the size of the bolt then trim to the size of the head.

Too much oil in the tank will cause eventual seepage out the banjo.
