hi guys.
question...what r u guys using to seal the threads on 1/2" NPT plugs and AN adapters?i used std Teflon tape on my set up and it continues to weep oil...runs at 80 psi pressure..pot metal derale unit...moroso filters..#10 AN fittings,but there not leaking..I think its leaking at the hex 1/2" pipe plugs..tightened up more while hot but its still leaking just enough to make the area wet and create a slow drip off the lower front frame rail...

should I go thread sealer? or more tape? thanks..really annoying!
 
good ole permatex!I have an old can of it on the shelf all dried up..autozone has it though..thanks.
