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!
