Subject: 912 Oil Leak
Jimmy, Dekester, and the Group,
I've been searching for the source of this leak since 2003 when it wa
s a drop or so per hour. Periodically, I'd check the tightness of everyt
hing 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 j
ust got the pump back tonight. It looks great, but it's not on the Fox y
et. 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.

I just thought I'd mention in case you get weeping through a porous weld here don't despair it's probably not a problem. There is a Loctite product called Wick-in. This will quickly suck into the open pores and seal them. Actually I would consider doing this before I filled the pores with oil as it might work better, although I've never seen it not work. it's amazing stuff.
