oil return, teflon tape, teflon glue stuff, or rtv gasket maker ?

I used Permatex's "The Right Stuff" gasket maker on mine. It really depends on how tight (and deep) the threads came out from your tap job. Mine were very tight, so I used silicone sealant. If your threads are loose, I would recommend thread sealant.
I wouldn't recommend loctite unless your threads are very loose. In that case, Loctite makes a thread sealer, but I've had a hard time finding it in stores.
I'm not a fan of JBweld in general, but if you're not happy with how the tap job came out, it could help tighten things up.
Good luck!

permatex is what's used to seal your oil pan...get the black ****...i have no worries that it wouldn't do what you ask of it, it's not like the pan is pressurized, and the npt fitting should already be tight to begin with.

uh dude did you ever wonder what the composition of permatex black is? Prematex is just a brand name, one of the bigger ones in this country i might add. The black is rated for high vibration/laod, and oil/water contact no it would not likely hold up to gasoline and definitly not to methanol it will hold oil just fine. You ever see what happens to a plane 2 liter with oil in it vs a 2 liter with gasoline in it. The one with gasoline will break down pretty quickly trust me not all petrochemicals are created equal, nor do they have the same propertys.
