Leaky oil pressure sender dilemma 200 1984

Hello all,

Here's the dilemma egauges.com says not to use sealant or teflon tape on the sender, because it will result in inaccurate readings do to a lack of ground.

I followed this advice and I now have a oily engine block and driveway.

My setup is made of a 2" extension a 45 degree elbow and then the sender. This gives me three possible points for leakage.

I'm thinking of using teflon tape, and if the readings are bad, installing a ground strap between the sender and the block.

Have any of you out there had this problem?

Thanks,
