Hi Matt,

assuming that the stuff that's in there now is seam sealer (it is brushed on)or body putty, can you use the por epoxy putty to replace that? from what you posted it sounds like it, but i want to make sure before i get in there yet again.

Also, it sounds like I would want to remove all the sealant that's there, and start fresh, re-sealing that whole area. as i told another poster, i'm leaning towards the option of pulling out all the old sealant and the silicone i put in today.

once i do that, i figure i would re-cover that area with the por-15 epoxy and then paint over the area with the por-15 black for extra protection.

in addition, i will use an air compressor to try to pinpoint the leak so that I don't skimp on the actual leak point, and hopefully repeat that processon the engine side (which is very difficult to access), assuming i can get to it. it's in a little cubbyhole that i can't see in, and my hand barely fits into, so that side might be tough to get.

any suggestions/feedback on that? does that sound like a way to do it? (I'm totally new at fixing body holes).

thanks,

susan.
