I use #12 AN bulkhead fittings with special washers and a little RTV. Never had a leak.

Doty Engineering makes some washers that seal pretty good.

One of the external fittings are leaking on my 572 as well

I am planning on replacing the o ring and using some sealer this time around. Maybe I should find some nylon washers as well?
