"1978 360 chrysler. I have an oil leak where the oil filter adapter mates with the block. I replaced the gasket last fall at lay up. Thought I had it fixed. First good run and it's back. Four hours underway @3000 rpm and I found a half pint or so of oil in the drip pan. Observed leak at gasket and also dripping from under the head of the large mounting bolt.

I'm looking at A new gasket set.
Building a new 360 myself.
3 pieces? gasket outer side of bolt, gasket inside of bolt "cork" , large gasket for the adapter itself. I would not use silicon.
A very, very light coat of "engine assembly adhesive". Only thing I use.
on outer seal on bolt. Also on the large
gasket on the adaptor itself both sides.
nothing on the cork gasket. Must be clean of all oil, dirt
ect.
