I cant get my 400 to quit leaking oil around the to and return lines from the oil tank where they connect to the motor. I replaced the rubber seals and the little pins and they still leak pretty bad too. What could it be the bolts are tightined to torq specs in manual maybee lil more than that

dont tighten the bolts more then recommended the threads will stretch then strip n snap n leak and u could try putting some gasket sealer on the seals when u put it on.
