Hi there, my compressor gasket was leaking so I decided it was time for replacement. It's now leaking worse. No sealant was used. The work was done in a heated garage. Drove it twice an re-torqued it twice. All work was done by an ex deuce mechanic.
Our guess is the bottom of the compressor is warped.
Possible solutions...
Cheers.

- New compressor - ouch $$.
- Double gasket.
- A home made gasket made from thicker material.
- Mill the base of the compressor.
- What are your thoughts and/or experiences on this?
- If we go the home made gasket route what type of material would you recommend?
- Can we assume the compressor is getting enough oil at this point? The oil isn't pouring out but it is leaking nicely.
Cheers.
