oil filler oil leak

kfnut · Oct 18, 2019

I have a 2N that has a small oil leak where the oil filler tube goes into the block . Is there some kind of seal that goes there to stop this ?

No. It's a press fit.

Permatex makes a gas tank sealer putty that should work without cementing the filler tube to the block like JB WELD would

I wrap black electrical tape around it a round or two then drive it in with a block of wood and a hammer.

What Bruce said goes best; I wouldn't use tape, paper, plastic, or rubber or anything that may break off and end up in the system. You might want to check the breather cap for dirt and/or obstructions and clean in a solvent. There are OEM-style breather caps available -SEE LINK -if you need a new one.
