I thought it was the nut that was coming loose. It turns out the stud will not stay tight resulting in a leak. What can I do to keep the stud in tight? Would it be too hot for locktight? What are my options other than tightening it down till it breaks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Put a little JB Weld on the threads. The heat will not make the JB very strong but it should hold it in until you need to remove it.
