I disassembled mine, cleaned the interface with acetone, then sealed it with RTV since it was not cracked. No leak.

Hey John V, I think this is exactly what is happening to my 2000 Box. I do not think my AOS is bad (new version and pretty clean all around it) No smoke from the exhaust. I did get the pooling of oil on the passanger side and underneath the join of the fill tube there is oil.
Question: How was the removal and cleaning process? Any guidance on how to do it will help. What is RTV?
Thanks in advance.
