I have recently found that one of my connections into an aluminum
radiator for the oil cooler lines is leaking a little bit. It is not the
flex hoses themselves, but a brass adapter between the flex hoses and
the radiator. It is leaking at the threads of the adapter.
I would rather not over torque the adapter and cause damage to the
radiator--although I don't know how tight the adapter is right now. So
my question is if anyone has any thoughts about what I can put on the
threads to seal the connection better. Would RTB be good or even teflon
tape? I think my preference would be RTB as it seems to me that it would
last longer. Or is there another product that I should use?
Thanks.
