I've never gotten mine not to leak... If you figure it out, let me know...

I'll bet I've installed at least 1/2 dozen of them, and I've tried at least 4 different methods....

All of them have resulted in the same drip drip drip...

Its nothing major, just an annoyance....

thanks, how about the oil getting into your clutch? is it a big problem? i am just worried my track car for the last ten years without a drop of oil leaks everywhere.

never had an issue with it getting on the flywheel or clutch, and all I do is track my car....

Like I said, if you figure out the magic method - LET ME KNOW!!!

Mine drips primarily when the engine is cold. Once it warms up, it still drips a little, but the leakage seems to reduce itself when warm...

(kinda doesn't make sense because the oil is thinner when warmer, but I guess the tolerances tighten up enough to make up for it)
