Bob, I think your right. Hangfire, thanks for the suggestion- I think. Sam, I know, I know lol !!

Well I was never able to fab or find a copper washer that would work, but after removing and reinstalling the screw a few times, it stopped leaking- for now anyway... go figure

Washer kits?

Haven't located a thin copper washer that will fit- gonna try to find some thin copper and cut my own. The leak is very minimal but needs to be fixed. I'll post the previously mentioned pics on the "what did you do to your deuce" thread.

Ok Keith, thanks!

Bob, that's a great idea! I hadn't thought of that- cheap to do and nothing lost if it doesn't work. Keith, I really don't think there's a crack in the head- UV dye might be necessary if all else fails. You're explanation of the procedure makes sense to me now- you condensed multiple threads...

Ok thanks everybody- I'll pull that plug out today and check it. I'll let you know what I find.

Hey folks, I've read many of the threads about leaking hydraulic heads but I'm not sure which direction to start in. Mine started leaking on my A2 deuce yesterday. (LDT465-1C engine) The first photo shows a pencil pointing to the area where the leak appears to be. (At least in that area). I...
