I've had a tiny oil leak from the oil drain on my gt30 a few times now, seems as though the oil is eating its way through the copper sealant I am using which ends up in tiny amounts of oil making its way down the bolt holes and dripping on the manifold/exhaust which ends up in a nice puff of burnt oil fumes into the inside of the car. I don't want to have to keep resealing it as it is a pain in the *** to keep taking apart therefore I was wondering if anyone could suggest anything better to use as a sealant. I'm already modifying the original drain pipe as the AN fitting isn't to my liking so I am in the middle of making up another flange but am undecided whether to just use the copper sealant again or try something else. I can't find a suitable metal gasket for the drain and I tried an audi gasket used on the old k04 turbo but that wasn't any good either. You can see where it was leaking from the pic below and the red arrow. The other pic is of the turbine on the turbo with its funky red blades which I can only assume is from some additive in the esso fuel I use. Any suggestions appreciated!
