So I took out my taco plate and gave it a nice cleaning and fresh paint. I used a new gasket and new copper screw seals with proper torque. Any tips for stopping the leaks? Thread sealant maybe? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Is there possibly an over size o-ring one could get that would seal up better ??? As in larger diameter section , not overall larger diameter ??
