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. rich |

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. Yea, because those 2 bolts are the only thing that holds the cover plate, and base, on the case. If you had wiggled the base a little more, the base may have dropped out and you'd have gotten the whole oil sump dumped on the floor. I don't see how the gasket between the cover and the base does much. The red o ring and the sealing copper washers on the bolts do more... I see the assembly as: case red o ring (PET 111-05 #50 021.101.269 A) base with sender gasket (039.101.287 not shown in PET) cover held on by sealing copper washers (PET 111-05 #51 N013.803.2) and bolts, 6mm. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=111454 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act...=0#entry1242301 |

QUOTE If you had wiggled the base a little more, the base may have dropped out and you'd have gotten the whole oil sump dumped on the floor (IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) You can put it on without the outer cover, but the bolts have to be installed with the crush washer as if the cover was on. Chances are: trying to remove just the cover with a full sump will not end well. Stu |

For once luck was on my side. Good to know. I pulled that cover off because I saw it was the source of my leak... once off, I left it off for a bit, but lucky for me, I put the bolts back in to stop the oil from dripping. For now, I made a paper gasket and slapped the cover back on. So when I go to do it right, how much oil can I expect to come out of there when I pull the whole thing out? |

Probably better to do it before you start the engine for the first time, otherwise you're going to have to wait till you're ready to drain the oil. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) |
