Your acorn nuts with integrated o-ring are top shelf. But if you use a washer in front of the nut then there is still a potential for an oil leak. Is there a washer with a seal that pairs with this? I have used silicon to seal the nuts and washers on the back plate of the ZF. It works well but it is messy and I used about a half roll of paper towels in the process.
