At about 75 miles into breakin I am experiencing an oil leak. This engine has a dip stick orifice on both sides of the block. I am using the drivers side orifice. The orifice plug on the passenger side seems to be seeping. How is the best way to seal this leak? | | |

They are a different size for each side. Put a little RTV on the correct plug & tap it in the hole. Do you have addicate ventilation on the valve covers? I use a pcv valve on one side & use a vented oil cap instead of the cap that comes with the engine. Stant Oil-64 Ithink is the part number.
