Oil Filler Neck Leak
I was wondering if anyone has ever had a leak around the filler neck, I was thinking JB weld would fix it, I think the leak is allowing condensation to form in the filler tube. Any help is appreciated

i read it wrong but just in case someone has a pedastal leak.........
Are you talking 'Filter' or 'Filler' neck? if Filter neck there are two small rubber o-rings on the underside of the oil filter pedastal. If I remember right, you remove two 10mm (could be 12mm?) nuts holding the pedastal. You cant see the nuts but you can feel them if youd put your hand under the pedastal. Only takes about an hour to change the o-rings. O-ring in the manual shows 99541-01601.

I do believe he said 'Filler Neck'.
If your filler neck somehow has a leak of some sort, JB weld could probably take care of it. But you'd have to make sure the area was very clean and very much dry... Never heard of a leak at the filler neck, though...

Don't JB-Weld it in place.
It pulls out with a lot of force or a few taps from a mallet. Clean the hole in the block of oil, and clean the filler tube as well. Now use a little sealant on the mating surfaces and hammer the fill tube back into the block. Let it set a few days and you should be fine.
