If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

How to seal banjo bolt for oil lines?

How would I go about to seal this? It is dripping oil when it gets hot from between the casing and the bolt, there is no washer there at the moment. Should I just buy a copper crush washer?
 
Yes.

Heat the washer with a torch to anneal the cooper and it will soften. This provides a better fit. If you remove the line, ever, replace the washer when you do.
 
Your Local Steeler (Dealer) should have the Aluminum Crush Washers in Stock.

I got 10 from my local Dealer.
 
Aluminum or copper? And does anyone know the proper dimensions so I can look for em tomorrow at work... I don't have the time or space now to take out the bolt myself.
 
If there is no washer, it will leak. Also, if you have any aftermarket type lines with screw in fittings, seal the thread with teflon tape. As far as what type of crush washers, they will be 10mm. If your favorite metric dealer doesn't have crush washers... go to your local (cough) Harley dealer. They will have 10mm banjo fitting crush washers there and IN STOCK! If they ask for the application... tell them you have a Fat Boy with aftermarket 10mm banjo fittings... This keeps them from making rude comments hehe
 
:) Thanks for the response. I actually figured out I have to seal the threads on the screw in fittings to my cooler with the teflon tape (thanks to you guys). I called my local Suzuki dealer and they got them for 0.80$ each, so I'll pick them up after work. Thanks again!
