Oil Tempature sender leak Hep
I've got a serious oil leak from the plate the oil tempature sender fits into. I have been unable to locate any photos or schematics describing what gaskets are supposed to be installed there. The PO used some silicon to mickey mouse this . Any help will be appreciated.

The gasket is really just a large "O" ring. Pelican should carry it, just ask for the Taco plate gasket. Heres i pic.

Yeah, what Ruddy said
 I'd like to also add that there are the small copper washers (#34 in the above pic) on the 2 bolts that hold it in - there was also a paper gasket in my rebuild kit, however I don't know how necessary it is. I used it though, with a very thin layer of permatex on everything and no leaks yet (knocks on wood).

Make sure you tighten to the proper specs too. That plate can warp.
Well, at least mine was bent.
