    oil return union bolt leaking

    The top bolt has been leaking. Can I just torque it down? Or do I need to replace the copper washers?

    I'm gun shy having needed the bottom bolt repaired few years back.

    Make sure you change all four seals and don't over-torque the banjo bolts.

      Alright. I just tightened it and stopped the leak.

          So many leaks on the good foot.

          banjo bolt, valve cover, crank seal, o-ring...

          may have some seeping from head gasket
