Oil leak

Problem found-not solved yet. The ears where the bolts go through the
housing are cracked. Must've been growing for a while. I saw some suspicious
lines yesterday, but thought they were just in the paint. After cleaning up
all the threads and replacing the screen adn housing I ran it up at idle.
Oil-still leaking. I could also very clearly see the cracks. Anybody know
where I can get an oil screen housing?

One more thing you've probably already thought of. Most taps have a
tapered tip. When used as a chaser, such a tap will not clean the
bottom threads in a hole. You can take care of this by cutting and/or
grinding most of the tapered section off the end of the tap.

Well, let's see.... he did say that he has a "bottom" tap.
