Jimmy, Dekester, and the Group,
I've been searching for the source of this leak since 2003 when it was a drop or so per hour. Periodically, I'd check the tightness of everything in the area and the leak was always a little worse afterward. Each time I checked the sending unit, I was opening the crack a bit more. I just got the pump back tonight. It looks great, but it's not on the Fox yet. Looking at the amount of metal in the area where the crack developed, I might be tempted to have this spacer welded on a healthy pump BEFORE it cracks.

Good find. Today I noted that I can feel oil, (just slightly), around the bottom of the oil pump and cannot find the source of it. So your email makes me wonder if it is in the area of the sending unit. Mine seems to be ever so slight, like one drop in 24 hours. Did yours start out like this?
Thank you.

Great sleuth work Rexter in Michigan! When you have your newly manufactured part in place and checked out, give us a report.
