Hi guys ,

I spotted a leak , looks like it is coming from my oil pressure sending unit .
So i removed it & replaced it with some new teflon paste . I did notice where
the wire connects there is a nut with a gasket which was very oil soaked .
I removed & cleaned the gasket .
After i reinstalled the unit , it seems to be leaking worse & it is coming from the gasket on top . Is there a gasket i can get or should i buy a new unit .
I have a autometer 2-1/16 electric gauge .
See pic where the wire connects that is whats leaking .
thanks , rocco

replaced the sending unit with a new one - no leaks now
but i would think the gasket can be changed with the correct gasket
