I’ve had that problem. Order yourself a tube of Hylomar Blue gasket compound. It was developed by Rolls Royce for aircraft use and man, does it work.

You might find it at an airport where small aircraft are repaired or just go on the web.

A little dab of that and the leak should stop.

I'm with you, Pete! I don't know about everyone else, but I put a little goop, RTV, on every nut and bolt. If it's not stopping a leak, it's preventing it from falling off or it's keeping water out. Why, because I hate leaks and hate when things fall off and I will not have my bike konking out while riding home in the rain.
