Hi Scrub,

I don't put anything together without Permatex RTV Red or Copper as there rated for continious emmersion in oil or gas. Other colors are not rated for this use.

I run a light bead dead center of the flange then let skin, about 15min, then assymble. I haven't had a leak in 25yrs using this method.

As the other guys noted, check for a mating surface problem.

Motor oil is used as hydraulic oil alot here in AZ where it gets so dang hot. Several of the old repair manuals state that is correct procedure.

The real problem is the system doesn't have a hydraulic oil cooler or a large enough cooler/sump capicity to compensate for the extra cooling thats required and/or has componets that are worn out.
