Riddler diff seepage

I installed my Riddlers last week and I noticed today I have a little seepage around the fill plug/hole. Has anyone come up with a solution to keep this from happening? Is there some kind of thread sealer I can use?

Thanks

They make pipe sealant for black plumbing fittings. Comes in a tube. You can get it at any plumbing or hardware store.

If not, then the teflon pipe thread tape is the way to go--as others have said.

I used a zip tie to measure out the fluid level. So Im no where near the hole.
