NOMAD327 Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 I have a 99 OBW 2.5 DOHC and the oil sender is leaking like crazy underneath. I replaced the sending unit (New Subaru Part) and removed and tried to reseal the little adapter under the sender while I had it apart. (It was also leaking) The threads looked good, but I was concerned the ground circuit wouldn't make up if I used teflon or some type of RTV. What has worked here for you guys.

aircraft engineer Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 No matter WHAT you use you WILL have continuity. It doesn't take a lot of contact and when you screw the pipe thread into the hole, it will bind and make contact. Teflon is good - pipe dope will also work. If you really want to overkill it - get some copper impregnated RTV - a little dab'll do yah and make a "trail" from the sender to the block. Or you could always put a wrap of 24 gage copper annealed wire into the fittings about 2 threads in and tighten it down - the copper will also act as a seal and provide your continuity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
