oil tank sender leak... at the post or wire hookup. pic inside

[x98boardwell]

I'm attempting to find out why this is leaking in this spot.

The oil leaks out of that stud and onto the wire then down the wire (only after a drive will there be a slight drip on the floor after sitting) as you can see making it dirty. This was a fresh hot tank, respray and all new seal. The oil sending unit is older but works well.

Has anyone ever seen this before? I searched but couldn't find anything on this particular leak.

Thanks for any help/advice!

Probably needs a new gasket - I think there are two styles of gasket - one rubber and the other cork. I just replaced the oil level sender unit - new cork gasket - have not racked up enough miles to say that no leaks..

I have a leak in the same spot. No enough to drip but dirty there. Going to replace with cork gasket when I accumulate enough parts needs for free shipping.
