[QUOTE="Gearclash, post: 127090, member: 11467"] You can try sealing the threads on the sight glass but I will bet that the problem is the sight glass itself is leaking past the seal for the glass. Replaced several of them already. A good quality pipe dope would be the recommended sealer for pipe fittings. Tape is not recommended for hydraulic fittings but I do use it sometimes. Be careful not to get any where it could get into the hydraulic flow. RTV silicon is a no no as mentioned. Most times were RTV silicon could be used, an aerobic flange sealant like Loctite 515 is a much better choice. [/QUOTE]
