Oil Leak at filler tube.
Wednesday, March 07, 2012 5:19 PM
Hey, something I noticed about the car driving it home is it was smoking some and smelt like burnt oil and you can see it seeping from the filler neck where it goes into the block, I've never had one of these engines apart nor have had taken a filler neck out. What do you all recommend as a fix for this? I was thinking of cleaning it up with brake cleaner to degrease the area and use RTV on it to seal it up as I used it once to seal up an EGR valve leak and those get really hot and it has worked great. But figured I would get y'all's input on this. Thanks

Thanks again Dave, I picked one up at Advance today and what a difference in thickness from the stock to new. No more leak
