I have a leaking bolt on my Continental 360 turbo that is underneath what I think is referred to as the "spider", where all the fuel injection lines come out of. The crankcase seam gasket seems to be holding, but oil is leaking from the bolt which joins the crankcase halves together, and in this case, holds the spider bracket as well. Is there an easy fix for this?? Can I just pull it, clean it and seal it up with RTV red? Or is there an O-ring that needs to be installed? Any all suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thanks
