Don't exactly know where to post this, and it's kind of a silly question anyway probably. I don't even know if you're supposed to use Loctite on those, but I did when I changed the gear oil a couple of weeks ago. I used sealant on both sides of the gasket too which I normally wouldn't have, but since it might get a little wet sometimes I didn't want to take any chances.

It looked like it had been done before, and blue sealant used on the bolts. I intended to retorque them, but haven't yet, then wondered if I should leave 'em alone.

I was happy to find that my vent hose is routed as high as it'll go, up on the body. That came up in another thread (or probably many) about how far to back in to the lake...

Ok, I'll just check it once in a while then to see if there's any seepage.
