Hi all, this Easter I replaced the leaking oil sensor on my SRT6. The oil pan resealed nicely, which made me happy as I continue to expand the work I do myself on the car. But the new sensor is still leaking when driving (not when idling).
On reflection, I did not spend quality time checking or cleaning the area where the sensor bolts to the upper pan. That's frustrating.
My question is, when I do it all again (just not yet!), I want to make sure the darn thing seals. Would it be okay to put a bead of RTV on the part of the plastic sensor bracket that presses up against the inside of the upper pan?
