The bird site says to pull the sender and replace the washers. It would be a lot easier to do this if the engine was in a 911 and the
sender was in clear site. I ended up using a mirror to see what I was doing.  Here's the sender. Now to buy some new washers  |

is the washer on the right steel ?? years ago they used a steel sealing in one place and it was not the sender..maybe why it was weeping..also when you reattach the tensioner oil line be sure to hold the adapter still while tightening the tensioner line..\ Last don't overtighten the sender adapter, its easy to strip, although aluminum cases are tougher , still does happen..

I think the washers were the problem. The photo shows what was installed and the much thicker one that came from Sunset Porsche. I got everything back together on Saturday and took it for a drive. Might need to tighten it a bit more but most of the leak is gone.
