Personally I don't think sealing the bolts will stop the leak. I will update the results as I am taking it up the line on road 12 hour drive then back.

Hi just letting you know it seems sealing the bolts working ( touch wood ) i did 12 hour drive checked it's all dry .

personally i would leave it alone, its a minor seep that you not going to lose any appreciable amount of oil from. if you really want to try to do something about it you could remove the bolts and put a dab of red fipg on the bolt threads.

Actually I did took out those bolts and it's not leaking anymore.

Found the same issue on mine before going up to COTR this summer. Bolts finger tight and gear oil covered, but nothing I was worried about, just cleaned it up and tightened...but I didn't even check spec, just torqued them down to roughly 50ft lb. Glad to see this, need to make sure they haven't backed themselves out again.

I pulled the bolts out applied some sealant no leaks mine had very small leak on 3x bolts.
