QSC Oil Leak

[Dave Carlson]

I have an oil leak on a QSC 500 where the drain hose from the air sep attaches to the oil pan. This looks to me like an oil drain fitting that was adapted for a hose but before I remove the fitting and reseal I wanted to make sure there is not a nut inside the pan.

Thanks to all and love the site!

Just don’t get True Blue in your hair !

Rectorseal TrueBlu for that spot would work well also… TrueBlu is more permanent.

Yes a threaded insert with a sealing washer behind it. Take it apart, clean it up and coat it with Rectorseal 5.

Thanks to Tony and Philip for the replies.

To answer Philip I actually sealed that fitting on the other engine.

The leak I have now only happens when the engine is running. I just wanted to make sure this is a threaded insert attached to the pan like a drain plug before I remove it to re-seal.

Thanks

Any chance your leak is from this area?..

I need really good pics to see what you see along with some showing the entire Airsep system as installed.. Add some of the entire engine room too.
