RE: leaking oil cooler?

[Brian Honnold <bhonnold@pac-cap.com>]

One sensor is the Temp sender and one is the high pressure sender

It is most likely the high pressure one.....Shannon had one fail on him 
once and I had one last summer spring a leak and blow oil all over....There 
is only a thin copper washer on the bottom of the sender that you need to 
replace when you put the new one on.

There are numbers on the bottom of the sender, make sure you get the right 
one or you will get a low pressure buzz and warning light all the time
