andy couchman Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Just done a top end rebuild and the dry sump tank (Titan?) appears to be weaping around its join. Took off the top and it appears round in both top and bottom sections and the big O ring seems intact and everything fits OK. Can't understand why it's leaking - the V shaped metal retainer is fitted OK and done up reasonably tight.Should I tighten it up even tighter, or would that actually make matters worse. Should I replace the O ring (any ideas where to get them from?)?Any suggestions gratefully received. It's not a big leak but you can just feel a bit of oil on the tank. I'd hate to have a crossflow that's going to leak oil...Thanks all.Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Is it the Pace Easiclean type of tank, about 6.5" diameter? I'd try a new O-ring and band first. Think Automotive and Merlin supply the tank and might be able to get the bits. If not, try Pace themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OliverSedlacek Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 A new O ring should help, as they do go a bit hard with time and temperature. I went 'belt and braces' and used non-hardening sealant as well. IMO they should have put the joint higher up, above the usual oil level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Stewart Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 I have a new o ring for a 6.5" Pace tank if that's of any use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
