Never had leak. Don't want to start with this one. All the rear suspension is out. So it's a great time to make sure that leaks are prevented from occurring in the future. Then install the rebuilt 78 suspension with the new KYB shocks. Running into no rusty bolts/parts. Had no problems with brake line fittings. Bob Dunahugh

The last coach I sealed the wheel wells with Rustoleum sealant. Comes in a
big spray can, what I used was black. Kinda foams up a bit. Dries like
neoprene. Couldn't tell you how it holds up.

Bob,

I'd use 3M-5200 adhesive / sealant:
