![]() It's just above the drain plug on the rear sump and just below the dipstick tube and it's leaking. Has anyone ever had this problem? Can it be fixed or do I need a new one? I pulled it out and put some gasket sealer on the very back threads, but it almost looks like it's leaking from where the sensor actually goes into the metal sleeve. I looked in the Mustangs Unlimited catalog and it appears to be the one sensor they don't carry, is this strictly a dealer part? Thanks in advance....

![]() If you want a cheap fix - A couple years ago I took mine apart and I think I put a small rubber O-ring in and put it back together. You'll know what to do when you pop it apart. It just started leaking a little again.

![]() This is a dealer part and costs about $35.
I replaced mine (it lasted nine years) and it took about 15 minutes (on a lift). Worth the piece of mind, in my opinion. |

![]() Are you talking about the oil level sending unit? If is leaking and the unit works, then all you need is a plastic gasket. The ford dealer sells this part for a dollar or so. I know because I replaced mine.
