You know, I wonder if it was leaking past that steel ball in the back of the block, I am going to look closely at the 617 I have on the floor and see if I think a wad of the stick type JB weld would stop the leak. Shouldn't hurt anything and if it has to come out, it could be drilled out. Why would you ever want it out. All it does it keep the oil in the system.
