    Hi guys, I recently had my head gasket replaced and soon after seen it was leaking about 1 gal every week or two. It won't leak when idleing. looking at the front it looks like its coming out of the bottom part of the tube where it screws into the front case. I can move the top part up and down pretty easily. If I take off the hold down bracket will it have enough thread to go around again? Can I put some rtv on it. I have to fix before I get home so I can pass the company inspection. Thanks guys, Rob.

    I've had them crack on company units the tube and the part the spins into the front cover not too hard to change. So I'd check that before just buying the gaskets
