OK, so while I'm waiting on the final verdict on my fuel injector cleaning project, I thought I'd chase down an oil leak.

What I found was that oil was seeping out of the cover plate for the remote oil temp sender. I removed the cover plate that is held on by two 10mm bolts. With the cover removed, oil really seeped out of the bolt holes.

I assume and hope that's OK?

Question is, if they leak that bad, shouldn't there be a gasket for that cover?

The cover and the plate that the sender mounts to were very nicely cleaned and powder coated, but no gasket.

I see a gasket in the PET, but not sure if it is for the cover plate or the inside plate that the temp sender screws into?

Thanks,

Len

gasket
plate with sender
gasket
o-ring
cover plate

Both bolts have copper crush washers (one use only) as well.

All of this is in a standard gasket kit, or you can get them all from one of the many vendors that we all buy from.
