Thread: On and off leaking?

RTV just doesnt work there. it will hold for about a month or two at most. i did the quick steel and it has held for 4 years now. the shaft you need to pull is basicly under the EGR on the block just under the rear head closest to the drv side. over on 60degreev6.com they have a write up i believe on fixing it. hope this helps.

Thank you! I have been searching for possibilities, and I found on another thread here an explanation how to replace exactly what you are talking about. This weekend I'm gunna clean the engine off as best as I can, find a trail to exactly where the leak is, and go from there. I have a feeling it is what you are saying it is though.
