Try a bonded seal for bspp / metric port fittings. Maybe with a flange headed bolt
I believe what is being suggested is a Dowty seal.I need a translation for this. 'bonded seal' & 'BSPP'?
Yes that is what they look like .Like these

Replace the oil pump? It's probably the next logical step and I don't even know where it's at but I think it may be in front of the injection pump. How big of a job would this be and what will a pump cost? Thanks for your time and opinions.
Why didn't anyone recommend an expandable rubber "core plug".??
The kind w/ a T handle that gets tighter the more u turn the T.. like a boat "plug"..
They make'm in all sorts of sizes..
howdy neighbor
you can buy expandable drain plug replacements or plugs that kinda cut their own threads
not sure where in order to get your size
I agree with putting a washer under it
Take another picture with camera pointing towards the front of the engine and I'm sure someone can point to the pump.Kshansen, that picture helps a lot! I can see where the pickup tube attaches to the engine block. Right under the front main bearing. I still never saw the pump. The harmonic balancer is just in front of this attachment. More inspection to come later today. Thank you all.
