Re: Stripped banjo bolt…helicoil?

If you run into a situation like this again you might try a talcum powder based tracing powder. I use the stuff that comes in a spray can. You can also sprinkle baby powder or foot powder on the leak but the spray powder is much easier. Some foot powders come in a spray can. Search for leak tracing powder and using powder to trace leaks on the web. You just clean and blow off the area and apply the talc and the leak will show up as a clear area surrounded by dry talc. make sure the area is clean and dry before applying the talc.
