Looking for a mechanic to fix a oil leak on my 03 vulcan nomad 1500. There is an acorn nut in the v at the base of the cylinder that is not seated and started leaking pretty good. I couldn't get anything on it to snug it down, and heard people have fixed by removing it and putting a little high temp rtv on the bottom and torque it back down. To get at it would require removing the tank, throttle bodies, injectors ect. I'm willing to pay someone to do it, just don't have the time and no how. Would like to get it back on the road asap. Its ridable, but wouldn't go on a long trip with the wife like I would like to....

ctrider does most of his own work but may know of someone as he's from CT. There are a few other riders on here from CT that may respond.
