Remove old O-ring.
Thoroughly clean plug with brake cleaner.
Inspect plug for any thread damage.. replace if detected.
Replace O-ring.
Use a full coverage coating of teflon paste around the threads, rather than tape.. cover all but not excessively thick.
Reinstall carefully and don't overtighten.
After the primary completely drains, might also inspect the plug hole.. flashlight and small mirror. Maybe if there's possible debris in/around the plug drain hole, might clean that as well.
.. hope it helps.
Don't leaks just chap you good. I hate 'em [:@]
The old bike used up all my tolerance for any such thing as a leak. Now my Isuzu trooper is leaking and noone works on them anymore around here.. Talk about bent out of shape.. I've been beside myself over it.
