your welcome. i heard someone mention using a cork gasket instead of silicone. maybe you could cut it to put around the pickup. you'd still have to at least clean oil off the joint. not that i know much about it.

yea i was gonna pick one up but every store i called said they didnt have any in stock and couldnt order them cuz they werent even listed... so i used the silicone. plus there was all kinds of metal s*** in there so it was good to clean out.
