Has anyone else ever had this happen?? Its a slow leak but will produce about 10 drops of oil over night sitting still with cold oil...
You will see this in plugs that have been over tightened, cracking them. When you get your new LN plug, be sure to not over torque it (19 ft. lb. is the correct torque for this plug).
