I just got used to the leaking. Unless it's squirting out, f-it.

Thumbs up Video Link

Any body have the video link that Go7roo7 followed . Please pass it on interested in doing the swap .
Which is better the Altima seals or the Pathfinder seal for best fit ?
In my industry we use many different adhesives and sealants . Using RTV type Silicone is not the best product for this issue . Permatex makes two products that are better suited for this type of heat and oil soaking Ultra Black Permatex 82180 and Right Stuff® Instant Rubber Gasket Maker Permatex 25224 . Clean area and seals with a good Brake cleaner . Apply even 1/8" bead , install and wait at least 4 hours (overnight is best) then install . I would also seal the mating surface to the tubes . Just smear it on the surface sparingly and let cure before starting .

I know for a fact that the Altima seals are the same as the Z because I broke them out of the cover myself for this.
