im getting to know the 1995 dyna lowrider i just traded on. its older than my sporty and more miles(46xxx). i noticed an oil leak coming from the stator plug. i read at some forum about a guy using an o-ring to solve this. it sounded like a good idea so, i tried it. i slowed it down but it didnt totally stop, i think it may have been a tad too big. they were out of the smaller ones before the size i got. my next idea is to use gasket former or sealer. is ther any reason i shouldnt do this? there has to be a solution besides replacing the stator to cure the seapage.

 

Why not just use some sealer (RTV)? Clean the oil off using some brake cleaner and seal it up.

 

that was the plan but, i wanted to make sure i wasnt doing the wrong thing before making mistake. ill be taking the o-ring off and using the rtv sealer. or should i leave the o-ring on?
