Re: IML: '73 Oil Leak (pressure sensor?)

["Dave" <Wilkerbeast01@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some of these sender units have a modified hex shape, so it looks like you 
could use an open end wrench (And usually can) to take it out and replace 
it, but there is actually a socket made especially for this. If the unit 
tears while taking it out, you may have to find the socket to get it out. I 
find they leak where the bakelight material is crimped to the metal. Has 
your oil light/gauge been acting flaky?
