Coolant leak

I must just be the worst person ever when putting something together. I've changed pumpkins 5 times now on my car, and 3/5 times I had a small leak. Maybe 2-3 drops a week. And all of those times I just used black rtv, with no gasket.

If you are doing it this often you should put studs in the rear end instead of using bolts. The studs would be better over all anyways and provably wont be that expensive. Also, if you have retorqued those bolts too many times they may need to be replaced anyways.
