So my car decided to dump oil all over the floor of my parking space, pissing off the management. Ive spent the last two saturdays cleaning up the mess. I got around to replacing the rubber o-ring, lightly coated it in black sealent to help it stay put. New paper gasket and copper crush gaskets. Today I see it is still leaking oil. There always seems to be a drop hanging off the temp sender wire and a small puddle of oil about 4 inches in diameter right under the taco plate. Im getting tired of this. Im "pretty" sure my plate is not taco'ed, but not 100%. Any other ideas or should I just source a new plate? Oh, and I am not even using synthetic anymore, this is with dino schtuff (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)
