What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

Uh, that is teflon tape, and would work, but there isn't much room in this case. The stuff I was talking about comes in a small squeeze tube like locktite and it's like a white paste

I would use the sealant, not the tape. The tape can have strings come off and have had that cause problems getting into stuff in equipment. I have almost outlawed the use of Teflon tape on equipment we build.

hmm ok I assume I can find that at the auto parts store then or would it be in the plumbing section at the hardware store

 

[gooffeyguy]

Yes, it should be available at auto parts stores and even Home Depot. I have a big tube of it from ARP that I got for when I installed head studs on one of my motors that go into the water jackets in the block (Ford 302).

I also use it on my air compressor line fittings and quick connects on my air tools

Not much, if any should come out unless you overfilled it to begin with. Does your cover have a drain and fill plug? You could always drain a bit beforehand then put it back in.

I had pretty much the same thing happen to the support cap bolts on one of my mustangs about a month after I installed the support cover. The aluminum was slightly wet around where the bolt goes through and I thought "damn, I forgot to seal those bolts before installing them." I basically backed them out as far as I could (you can't remove them, because the big, flat, pivot head won't fit through the hole), and applied the teflon thread sealant to the threads, then screwed them back into position. Been fine for years...lol

Fluid level should be below those bolts.
