I need this fitting! - 2003-04 Mach 1 Registry Owners Club

I currently have a oil sending unit in this location for an autometer gauge. Its leaking very badly so Im going to take it off and plug the hole but I've lost the plug I took out. Does anyone know where I can find one or does anyone have one they'll sell? Thanks in advance.

Yeah Home depot......I took my sending unit out so that I can set up a pump spray to prime my engine when it finally gets done. I just went down to the depot and matched em up.

Ill try to get it on jackstands tomorrow and head to the depot. Im hoping its the sending unit that's leaking so much.

I believe it to be 1/4 NPT. Any hardware or automotive store should carry it.

1/4 npt plug with a little permatex. Don't over tighten as that seem on the cars alimunim cracks very easy

I need to check and see if its already cracked. I cant find out where its leaking from. I just assumed it was from the sender since that's when the leak started.

yeah mine has had the tiniest leak from that area for a long time. I changed the adapter gasket and now I just did the oil pressure sensor and the aftermarket oil pressure senor. hopefully no more look. Gonna triple check for cracks though.
