Oil supply feed Allen bolt

I'm sure this is a dumb question but I can't find an answer anywhere. I have an oil leak from my front passenger side of the valve cover. It only leaks during boost. It is not coming from the supply line or banjo bolt, but possibly the valve cover, half moon seal, or the Allen head bolt that is to the immediate right of the banjo bolt. I have ordered new valve cover gaskets and the aluminum half moon from STM as my valve cover needs painted anyways. Mainly out of curiosity, what is that Allen bolt for and can I try to tighten it? It does seem backed out pretty far.

Thanks so much,

Dillon

Take it out. Put a little sealant on the threads of the bung, and put it back in. Tighten it and hope it was the source of your leak. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

There are no stupid questions. Only turbohair.
