oil leak problem

[bennell09]

ive annoyingly noticed that on my 2cycle oil tank there is a screw in it plugging a hole that looks like has been made by the previous owner screwing in the air box screw too hard and because the oil tank is directly behind the air box its pirced a hole so hes just bodged it by sticking the screw in to stop the leak. does any one know how i could plug the hole more professionally and longer lasting. im thinking because it holds oil itll be difficult to plug as the surface will be anti stick or something, any input will be a help

cheers

JB Weld might do the trick, you can repair most things with it.

Jbweld or plastic metal are good. Black or clear silicone would also work.

Soldering iron, and some plastic bottle to melt the piece back together.

which ever way you choose, make sure you properly clean it first.

Empty oil from tank.

Remove screw

Put a bit of silicon on the screw

replace the screw
