Unscrew it once tanks empty .... de-grease well, that done a good amount of BLUE 242 loctite on threads with an overnight cure before filling back up that leak will be no more.
had dang near ever B50 worked on leak at some time or another because of those "dang" dowdy seals ... hate em !!

Lets face it...leaking is something ALL PCP's are going to do sooner or later, if yours hasn't...then add the word "yet" as it is going to sometime in the future. The O-rings they rely on are just not going to last forever.
I just replaced the Dowdy seal...figured it lasted years and years, I didn't need any more of a fight next time I took it apart, so decided not to use any extra sealant.
Am also certainly NOT against replacing all the O-rings when you have it apart. Figure it was all assembled at the same time, so the O-rings are about the same age, so if one's bad the others are at least susect.

Does anyone have the dowdy seal part number or cross reference? Are there alternatives to that seal? I can never get it centered exactly because the poly center is all warped.
Would some kind of brass banjo seal work or does it need the poly center?
