I keep having a slight weeping leak from the sandwich plate. Mainly it happens after situations where the oil is very hot (thins out) or the pressure is high (cold starts in the winter). I'm just sick and tired of having a couple cc's of oil making a sheen on my undertray all the time. Mocal suggested removing the sandwich plate, cleaning all the surfaces, +/- using some black RTV on the sandwich plate O-ring, and possibly just swapping the O-ring for a new one. I'm starting at step one which is disassemble and clean. Not thrilled about using RTV and I'll replace the O-ring if I see a defect.
But I don't recall having the right socket for the extension bolt that comes with the sandwich plate. I'm hoping to torque it correctly in case that's part of the issue.
