Leaky oil access cover I drilled and tapped my oil acces cover (right above oil filter) to run an oil temp gauge. Ever since then I've had a slight oil leak that runs down my oil filter. I've changed the filter, taken off the access cover and RTV'd it....and it still leaks just a bit. Can someone help me please?!

I used the stock gasket that came out, it's metal so I figured it'd be ok.
