Bleeder valve

Hola


I've been having an issue with condensation in the trunk, isolated to the area directly over the coolant/oil fill caps. The tank/bleeder is new - installed with my IMS in April.

Replaced the cap, same problem. i put my ear to it as it was cooling and i could hear it coming from the bleeder assembly, so I ordered the o-rings from Pelican.

I removed the zillion screws that hold it on and it came right up, contrary to what I'd been led to believe from a post at rennlist. There were no o-rings at all that I could see. The tank is aftermarket? Anyway, all I could do was put some flexible Permatex on the flange and reassemble it. It's drying right now, I'll pressure test it tomorrow.

Anyone else pulled the bleeder and found something that doesn't require O-rings?

TIA
