Is My Girdle Too Tight?

[DanStokes]

No, seriously! I have leakage out of my rear end so I'm wondering if the jack screws are overly tight. Now that y'all are done chuckling please look at the pic and see what you think. All the cover screws are tight but you can see the lube oozing at the bottom which makes me wonder if the jack screws are pushing the cover back a tad from the gasket surface. I installed it according to Trick Flow's instructions but that was probably 15ish years ago so things may have changed during Stanger's long storage.

is that blue fel pro gasket?
maybe get some miles in it.
they use the oil to seal.. I retorque twice on just a regular new cover.
..and vent.

I wondered if I just need to drive the ol' boy a bit. Thanks for the input! Can't remember what gasket I used but probably whatever Trick Flow put in the box with the girdle.
