Leaking Oil Sending unit
350. I am leaking at the block. I have a brass pipe coming out of the block next to the distributer for the oil pressure gauge. Leaking bad at the block
I have used pipe dope, white teflon, and yellow teflon. Thinking about getting a piece of steel pipe. Any thoughts?

Re: Leaking Oil Sending unit
You can always use The Right Stuff on the threads as well. Made by permatex. Works wonderfully.
