Hi all . I have a 1975 R90 I am getting back on the road. The problem is I have an oil leak I can't fix. The leak is from a threaded plug in the block on the left side below the oil pressure switch and behind the frame tube. The plug has a regular screw driver slot in it. I have had it out twice and used loctite thread sealant and then flange sealant. Neither has worked. Would any of you try Teflon tape?
I am also wondering if this plug needs a specific torque or whether it should be put in with loctite blue. I do not want to remove the engine to get better access unless all else fails.
I welcome your ideas.
Thanks,
John
