Fixing a leak.  My old neighbor built circle track cars and after the ran the engine  he would shut it off...tape off every opening with duct tape then put a hose over the dip stick and hook up to a vacuum source.  He would then get his stethascope and listen in the area where the propane or carb fluid indicated a leak.  he used Rtv and calked into the area until the stethascope whistle stopped. too much vacuum will pull too much calk into the hole.
