Go to a good racing supply catalog like Pegasus racing or maybe Mc Master Carr and find flat washers with a rubber seal along the inside radius. I think they are called "seal washers" Buy a dozen or two and install them under the nylon lock nut in place of the aluminum crush washers. This may help stop the leakage around the studs but no absolute guarantee.


Edit: They are called "stat-o-seals" in the Pegasus catalog. Find the nearest english size for the studs as they are non metric.
