Oil Leak somewhere around the filter? 200 1989

posted by  someone claiming to be George A. on  Sun Apr 20 19:16 CST 2003 [RELATED]

Just went through something similar with my '85 240. Changed the nearly new filter thinking the seal was bad. Kept leaking, then I thought it was the oil pan gasket. Finally looked closely enough to see it was coming from the short extension nipple between the oil pressure switch port (threaded into the block around 18" above the oil filter) and the oil pressure sender can. I'd put a set of gauges in some years ago, pulled from a wrecked 240 turbo, and the sender can wouldn't clear the manifold. The nipple was cracked at the block-side threads. I don't ever recall leaning on the can, but suppose I must have. I removed the nipple and can, and happened to have a small squarehead brass plumbing plug that just fit. The threading, by the way, is standard pipe thread.
