I am going to try to fix a leak on the oil temp sender but I havent taken it apart yet. I am ordering a new sending unit as well. I am confused b/c Pelican has two different ones; one being listed as for 1.7 and 1.8 and the other Im assuming for 2.0.

The problem is that this is what my sending unit looks like from bottom:

Which looks like it will take this gasket which Pelican lists as the 1.7, 1.8 gasket

This is the other one they have listed. Do I need both to fix that?

What sender you need depends on what gauge you have. For instance, aftermarket gauges have their own senders that are calibrated for the range of the gauge.

IIRC, the stock sender has been NLA for quite a few years. Using the wrong sender will give you a reading, and it will go up as the temp goes up and down as the temp goes down. It won't necessarily be in the correct part of the scale, but then again the stock gauge isn't numbered...
