Thanks, I look forward to getting the info.The same oil channel leaked on my R90. The solution was to drain the oil. Clean everything well and then seal. I used a Permatex product which seals threads. The product consisted of a primer and a sealer. Curing time was 24 hours. No more issues.
I will look in my shop to find the product name. I will post here if I find it.
Good luck!

I did try Loctite but not with any success.Seems like you don't want this galley port to open up again. Not familiar with the Permatex product, but seems like a version of red Loctite would be warranted. I believe Snowbum is referring to these plugs on this website as #4 on the sketch. He has listed blind plug #11111338645. His discussion includes using strong Loctite.
Ok. The roducts are: Permatex Surface Prep (Item # 24163) and Permatex Thread Sealant ( High Temperature) 6 ml tube, (PX #59206). Fixture time is 4 hours. Full cure is 24 - 72 hours.Thanks, I look forward to getting the info.
It threads in but does not bottom out which creates a problem. Whatever seals it must also hold it in place.Can somebody further explain this specific oil plug? Is it pressed into place like an ordinary automotive freeze plug or is it threaded into place, or what?
Correct. When I sealed mine I screwed it in to the aproximate position it was in prior to repair. Then I left it a week for the sealant to cure. Three years later all is still good.It threads in but does not bottom out which creates a problem. Whatever seals it must also hold it in place.
