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. | Fixing a leak.
