Husqvarna 372

I took this 372 in trade and noticed a little more oil was
coming from the clutch area then i thought it should. After
inspecting there was a fine crack under bar plate where the old
style bolt adjuster would have been in crankcase. This is where
the bar oil is seeping when running and under pressure.
I need to get a close up pic to you guys can see.
Any ideas on sealing? I'm thinking a fine coat of JB in crack or
seal all.

I would slightly V out the crack, and then scrape it up real
good around it, to give good adhesion for the JBWeld.

I'm going to clean the oil tank out real good and see what the
crack looks like from the inside too. Then try and put some kind
of sealer from the inside also.

Use some really nasty solvents and give it some good heating to
burn out as much oil as possible before applying whatever
sealant.
One possible to use in a fine crack like this is Locktite. Seap
it in and seal with some tape for a while, Locktite hardens from
lack of air.
