Brazing or silver soldering the fitting in would also be a repair option - of course you would have to take it a apart to do it.
That said "Yamabond" is by the far best type of "Permatex similar" liquid gasket maker that I have ever used. "Yamabond" is the liquid gasket maker that Yamaha recommends for use to seal motorcycle 2-stroke crank case halves together when assembling the crank case halves since there is no gasket betwwen them - just the Yamabond. And if you understand a motorcycle 2-stroke crankcase then you know it is pretty much always immersed in gasoline and oil mixture so the stuff has to be stout to withstand that.
Yamabond would be available at your local Yamaha motorcycle dealer but my guess is it is $12 to $15 a tube or so. I retired from the 2-stroke 2-wheelers back in the mid-1990's so it has been a bit since I bought any. Ride 4-stroke ATV now-a-days. Older guys need those training wheels - LOL.
