I thought that I stopped the oil from leaking but it is still leaking some from one side. It is the side via the driver, and it is only leaking there. I was wondering should I apply a thicker coat of sealant to stop this. When I put the cover back on should I let it sit there for a few minutes and then tighten them working from inside to the outer bolts.
