2G Possible Oil Level Sensor?

[Dragnous]

Hey all, Need some help and tips on this one.

Got my Car finally all back together and started her up. Good news is that it ran great asides from still having oil leaking out the side of the block near the firewall. I traced it down to what I believe is an oil Level Sensor? Hoping to get some confirmation on this as well as any tips anyone may have to make sure i replace this part correctly.

I have actually seen a small stream of oil coming from this sensor.

I replied in your build thread but yes thats the oil level sensor. When you go to pick it up get the socket that fits it. It will make your life simpler. get some good thread sealant as well. Don't use teflon tape.

Good POint, I tend to use a little bit of RTV on threads to seal and keep from loosening.. that should work too right?

Never heard of that. I would use thread sealant, it's like $10 a tube

Agreed rtv should not be used on threads. Get the proper thread sealant.
