So I took out my taco plate and gave it a nice cleaning and fresh paint. I used a new gasket and new copper screw seals with proper torque. Any tips for stopping the leaks? Thread sealant maybe? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Did you remove the temp probe holder plate and replace the o ring?

I thought I replaced everything with new including a new temp sensor. I was being super anal since the car was new to me and I wanted to do things right. On my last oil change I took the taco plate out to look at the temp sensor since my new gauge is not working. The damn thing was dripping all over the place with the two screws out, so I just put it back together real fast. |

The damn thing was dripping all over the place with the two screws out, so I just put it back together real fast. I just did the same thing when replacing my temp sensor it leaked a lot. To resolve I ordered a new O-ring, gasket and crush washers. I found that the old O-ring was compressed compared to the new one. PO had used some RTV on the O-ring so I cleaned all surfaces with a green scratch pad including case. installed parts dry (some like to lightly coat O-ring in oil). I also replaced the two bolts (bought at Home Depot). Now everthing is dry as a bone. |
