Hi

While cleaning the engine of my 504, I re-open a leak which was there for many years. At lest 13, the time I have own the car. The last owner must had it fixed by putting some paint. The leak is at the bottom of the power steering column. It is not a seal problem. It's a metal pipe which is tight up by a nut, but the flange must been broken off, therefore the paint had been applied to seal it.

I tried to seal it with some silicone sealant [Granville], but it did not stick to the metal pipe. [it is suposed to on their label]

Question is, what can I apply to seal it again? paint was used before, so what kind? Or some magnetic tape?

The part is not available right now, therfore why I am trying to find a solution.

Thanks.TB

As you can see on the pic, the bottom one is wet, the top one dry.

When the nut is tight, I can still pull the pipe out.
