5KT oil leak resolved ...



With assistance from several list folks (especially Scott
	Mockry), I finally fixed the oil leak on my '85 5KT over
	the weekend.

	For those of you who have been following this thread, the
	leak was not from the oil-pan gasket, but from the oil
	pressure switch.  It would trickle down in a thin
	rivulet and collect on the flange and then dribble
	down as if the gasket was leaking.

	The actual fix cost about $6.50 and an hour or so
	(had to get a couple of coolant hoses off to get
	at the switch).  Too bad it took me a week to figure it
	out .... but now I know how to replace the oil pan
	gasket :-)


	Thanks again!

	-Arun
