[DeTomaso] Oil temp sending unit

[Charles McCall]

Hi all,

 

I never pay attention to these things unless I can see it affecting me. I
know it's been discussed in the past, but what do I need to replace the oil
temp sending unit?

 

I've discovered the source of my oil leak - it's either coming around or
through my oil temp sending unit, as installed in the oil pan. It was giving
me flaky readings last time I had the car out, so I suspect it may be
beginning to fail mechanically as well. 

 

I also remember reading that teflon is NOT recommended for this application?
What do I need to keep it from leaking? 

 

Thanks!
