Bolt on stator leaking oil

[my98xplorer]

I replaced my stator and ever since ive had a lot of problems with oil leaking from the stator cover. I just went to discount auto and they had a roll of do it yourself gasket, so i bought that, cut out the gasket and put it on. So far everything looks good, exept for the bottom bolt on the stator cover. It consistantly drips oil, not bad, but its getting on my nerves. Is there any sloution for this? Ive tried thread lock and ive put gasket sealant around it but still no luck. Any suggestions?

i believe that one of the bottom bolts may have had an o ring. I use black permatex on all those bolts when i replace either cover.Then i let it dry overnight ands retorque before adding fluid

I had the stator cover off on my 850 ended up with a leak
Turns out I missed a very small piece of the old gasket..

Lynn, I guess the extra careful and gentle cleaning of the surfaces should always be a first

Also check the rubber grommet that the generator wires pass threw...
oil can get past this and leak down side of cover and appear to be
coming from bottom bolt.....ask me how I know (after replacing gasket
twice)

Actually thats kind of far for the old GS, not sure it would make it. I trust it driving around town, but thats pretty far north for me. I would love to go, but its about 2 hours for me to get there, and i dont wanna risk it.
