Thanks for all the replies, sorry it took so long to get back. It was the mounting bolts that got loose so really appreciate the feedback. I will indeed put on some thread lock.
Keep in mind, the bolts likely loosened because the gasket compressed over time. In other words you’ll likely need to do it again some point down the road. I wouldn’t put thread locker on the bolts because they aren’t actually backing out, rather the gasket compressed.
Thread locker will make it more likely for the bolt to break next time the gasket compresses. If you think the bolts are backing out, pull 1 at a time, put rubber washer on them.
BTW, would AC running or not change the path for water under the gasket?
