Oil level sender leaking

[177CIOfPureLove]

Hey guys, i was wondering, because i cant seem to find the part anywhere, is there a gasket or something for the oil level sender on the side of the oil pan? Mine leaks and i would really like to stop it. When i swapped the engine it seemed that the wires just pulled in and out so i did that. more than a year later that thing leaks. Do i just drain the oil and adjust it? it has a nut like thing outside i dont really want to screw with it until i change my oil soon. Thanks guys.

its NPT, which seals using tapered thread. you can pull it out and use pipe dope to seal it.

No, the oil LEVEL sensor mounted in the drivers side of the oil pan is STRAIGHT threads
and it is sealed with a rubber and steel gasket.

i guess i didnt look at it as close as i thought i had...could have sworn it was NPT.

thanks for the correction.
