Do you have a picture of the area that is leaking? It would be helpful in getting you the proper response.

The oil filler tube is not screwed in, rather, it's seated in place with force.
You can remove the oil cap, take a block of wood and place it over the top of the filler tube and tap it with a hammer. Do NOT go crazy and beat the tube down into the manifold. If this technique fails, you may have to replace the tube with a new one. The new filler tube will need to be installed with the method described above. |
