The plug is leaking oil just hanging on the stand. So if I clean it real good and apply the RTV...the RTV is what will make the seal. You don't believe the bead of RTV will eventually loosen? Heat cycles, vibrations, oil pressure etc.

Is your suggestion to put a bead of RTV around the existing plug? Or put a bead of RTV on a new plug?
