The sender is leaking now! suddenly out of no where it starts to leak... The sender is wayyy in the back of the manifold and almost impossible to even see. Anyone ever tighten one of these things? What kind of crazy tool did you use? darn thing is so small, and hidden behind my blower and under the plug wires beneath the distributor with the coil and wiper motors and egr blockoff plate and generally everything in the way. and it leaks like crazy! I guess 80 psi oil pressure was just too much for it eh... suggestions helpfull!

 

How could it be behind a block off plate? :\ Just use an open end wrench and move some things out of the way, it's not that difficult. IIRC it takes a 9/16ths wrench.

 

Behind your Blower???what you got in that thing? Mine uses a 3/8.....just remember...short strokes.and dont twist the line off.....

 

if the sender is leaking from the body replace it. if it's leaking where it screws into the block make sure it has teflon tape of liquid teflon sealer on it and use a sender socket around 10 dolalrs for a cheap one. if you have a nut and ferrel leaking tighten it more with a wrench.

 

eh, an open end wrench has no room to turn, both ways it hits the firewall.... and I cant get it from the front, its under the "overhang" I wish I could get a picture... I was wondering if people had some special tool they mae for this situation... weird huh, and yeah the EGR plate on this manifold is right in the back, over the oil pressure sender. darn thing hangs over it so I cant get to the sender... blah, Im goina pull everything off my engine just to tighten this stupid thing. Or maybe ill just Epoxy it in a nice hard shell.... hmm...
