Just noticed today the Troopy had an oil leak,on closer inspection it seems there is a small crack right below gearbox drain plug. It doesn't look like it has been hit,so the other two options are metal fatigue or possibly the drain plug has at some stage been over tightened.
As the former would implicate me I will go with metal fatigue.
What I would like to know if any one has any experience with the wide variety of products available, Epoxys,Liquid steel etc, and what products work?
I carry a couple of Loctite products on trips for similar circumstances but are yet to use them.
Adam.
