[QUOTE="Poleman, post: 4830714, member: 9209"] Had the same problem with this....leaked all over all the time. Very disturbing. What I did was put 2-3 small washers behind the tube to push it closer to the oil pump and make it tighter. That was after I Permatexed the oil hose seal that goes into the tank ( which I thought where the leak was and it still continued. I then replaced the hose to the tank...still had a leak. I looked close at the the fitting and discovered it was leaking from the tube that goes to the bar grove. It is just a preasure seal and not a good on after time and use...thus the washers to shim it closer. I just chose washers that fit snuggly into the area. Now it still drips but its off the chain...it oils like a Texas oil well. H [/QUOTE]
