Keith,
Great to hear that the Ambo is finally up and running. You and Bob have had
your share of lumps but the rewards are well worth the wait.
As for your plug.....goop a bit of Permatex sealent on the threads and screw
it in. That will hold it till the next time.
Good luck...Ian

My mechanic friend installed a new plug and gasket, and for months at his shop while it sat there, there wasn't a hint of a leak. Well, after riding it home, it has reared its ugly head again. The drain plug is wet, and gear oil is also running down the case like it was before and dripping to the ground. Has anybody experienced this problem and if so how did you fix it?
