Hey gang. Last fall I put a lot of time and careful effort into killing an oil-weeping problem on my clutch cover. I pulled the cover, did a very thorough cleaning of both the cover and the case it mounts to, installed a fresh O-ring, and applied a thin film of black RTV silicone before buttoning it all back up.
And it's still weeping oil.
That's a plastic cover, and I'm starting to suspect that it's damaged or warped. I would have thought that being plastic it would conform well to the part it's mated to, but I've still got a film of oil appearing on the right side of the motor, so I don't know what to think anymore.
Has anyone ever had to replace one of these covers to resolve an oil leak?
