I got a drop or two leaking past the cover and I'm gonna replace the gasket & rebuild the trac-lok this winter, but I got one more track day and I just wanna make sure all the bolts are tq'd correctly.

Click to expand... I've done both -- but in order to have the gasket not leak I had to use some RTV. I agree ... save the trouble and just use RTV.
