RTV worked for me.I installed my Ragusa pan 3 years ago and the only
problem I had was to get the oil off the transmission half of the
resevoir 'cause RTV doesn't stick well onless it is absolutely dry. So
that's what I did.
I will have to ask Sirums what they did when I had them change the oil
and filter last year???
