[Healeys] Redline leak

[Dan Stromquist]

AMHIK:

I have been using teflon tape on my oil plug and rear end diff plug with no
problems.  By the way, the correct spelling is "DUH" not "DOH"
Duh!

Unfortunately teflon (PTFE) tape dissolves in mineral oil.
Doh!

This would be teflon tape. No harm in trying if it is a tapered plug. It 
will not help with non tapered thread.
