leaking oil pressure guage - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

miket · 03-14-2003, 12:35 PM

Last weekend I removed my instrument panel to install a tach and after reassembling everything my oil pressure gauge leaks aroung the fitting nut and the feed line. I tried tightening it but it doesn't make any difference. Is there a fitting that goes inside the back of the guage that may have come out? Anyone have the same trouble? Any ideas?

If the line is leaking and you have slack cut the old farrel off and put you a new one on, they sometimes wont seat back right

Don't forget to use a bit of plumbers tape on the threads. Fixed my leak right away.

you probably dropped the farrel you have to be very carful with them as they are so small
