Re: Oil leaks

["Richard Reyes" <llestat@ibm.net>]

Thanks All,  The problem has been solved, Unbeleavable how 
much oil can spew out the top of that little sensor but it sure did 
it.  Got mine replaced down here in Florida from discount auto 
parts for 6.00 $.  Got another problem, I had an oil pressure 
guage I was going to install so I took the opportunity to do it 
now.  I installed it to the guage hook up on the head the low 
pressure guage but i find that i only get a usefull reading when 
I'm at about 2300 rpm.  I'm wondering if I should hook it up to 
the sensor opening where the high oil pressure sensor goes 
instead the one above the oil filter. any suggestions????
