I've tried putting a thin skim of sealer over it but the leak persists. I'm at the point I need a drain plug in my bellhousing as it's always got gear oil inside.. Suggestions??

Like Jeff said hylomar too cover it up.some guys use nasty rtv .This is something we will be working on next year with a aluminum case or another option not too be disclosed on here

Tom where can I get Hylomar? Do you have any 3.08 first gear available?

I think Ferrea valves is now selling Hylomar, so most places that handle Ferrea should be able to get you some Hylomar. You see it at parts houses too, in the regular sealant section.

Hylomar is a product of Permatex Co. I know that the larger NAPA stores carry it also the O'Reilly parts chain has it---Stuff works great for head gaskets to--Follow the directions and it will work--They make a tube/brush on I think altho I have always used the AEROSOL kind---Stuff is not cheap about $15 or more for a small aerosol can but it is a great product---Patterson Engines uses it in most of their engines for a head gasket sealant---Comp
