Re: I got an OIL LEAK!!!

[Brad Sterling <bgsterling@earthlink.net>]

Okay, it mostly makes sense.  One question.  You mention that I can replace either
the low or the high sensor with a dual sensor.  But then later on, you say to
check the pressure numbers to make sure I'm replacing the appropriate sensor.  So
which is it?  Does the dual sensor replace either existing sensor or do I need to
replace either the high or low specifically?
