When doing my clutch i had to take out the oil check tube and when i inquired about a gasket but the subaru shop said to use a sealent on it. Is the stuff i want anerobic or aerobic, any good brands?

I'd just use some RTV silicone. Always works in those sortsa places.

But I do have a few problems with oil leaks on my ea81 ! 8O
