actualy teflon tape should do the trick. thats what we use. take a razor knif and slice the roll down the center to make it neater and last 2x longer. make sure you wrap it the direction the threads go so it does not unwind when you tighten the pipe.

where are you in the world, I can send you loctite 542 if you think it will sort out your issues with the marker http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/36/36_7_2.gif

that my friend is the relief port for the lpr. check your lpr pressure as well make sure the oring under the crack pipe is tight
