I am wondering how to deal with this leak. The leak is coming from the joint where the arrow is placed on this picture:
About 6 months ago I noticed a small leak coming from that spot and decided I would be a genius and tighten it. Tightening it made it start to leak a lot more. It still isn't that much, a quart every 2-3,000 miles. The sensor wire always slips off but today I put some ultra gray on the other side of the wire so hopefully that will hold it. I still want to get this leak taken care of though. Can I try tightening it more? I am scared to make it worse or just completely break something so I want to get some advice first. If tightening isn't going to work what will?
Thanks Everyone
