[DeTomaso] Sealing ZF bottom cover

[Stephen Nelson]

As with you - our ZF was restored by a pro.  And started leaking soon after
installation.  I re-torqued all the bolts - leaks gone.  Likely they were
tight after the pro worked on it - but hey, maybe the gaskets compressed.
They were not tight when I checked them.

Subject: [DeTomaso] Sealing ZF bottom cover

All,

Despite the work being done by the foremost ZF vendor, my ZF manages to weep
oil from around the bottom cover bolts. Noticed this with it on an engine
stand with totally cold oil. Hate to think what happens when oil is warm.  

I'm thinking removal of the cover bolts - NOT the long, cross bolts - and
covering them with a suitable sealant might stop the drips.

Anyone solved this issue on their ZF, and if so, how?

Thanks,

Larry
