I have a pretty juicy oil leak through the oil filter housing gasket, and a lot of weepage from the lower pan gasket. I have some new OEM gaskets on order, and I want to make sure that they don't leak. What all do you guys use to seal things, and do you have any tips for applying it?
I have heard a lot of good things about Permatex "The Right Stuff" on here. Do you coat the paper gaskets with it, or just use it instead of the gaskets? How about Permatex copper spray? Some people seem to have used it on the oil filter housing gasket. As for the filter outlet o-rings, I was just going to put a little silicone grease on them to get them to slide into place, or is that not a good idea?
Thanks!
