Here's the deal.... I have the Prosport oil pressure guage and oil filter adapter (for tthe sending unit to connect to)..... Here's my problem, I have tightened, used thread sealant, and even pipe thread tape..... but the oil pressure adapter plate still leaks!?!?! I am curious what alternatives do I have? Is the thread pitch of the sending unit compatible with the factory Mitsu oil ports? Or will this gauge wire into the facory sending unit (and still be accurate)?

I am not looking to replace the gauge, or the sending unit...I just need to ditch the oil filter adapter plate, and find a more direct alternative...

Thanks again :-)

 

bump....anyone?

whats the adapter for, i have my sender directly in the oil filter housing

 

I have mine on a right angle adapter and a thread adapter. Both of which lose about a drop of oil in two months. Having had a few aircooled VW's in the past this is more than acceptable to me!

Where exactly did you tap into the oil filter housing? I just bought one of these and wanna make sure I get the most accurate location.

 

my prosport sandwich adapter leaks as well, but it is very little oil...

 

My prosport adapter leaks too, and looks like it sprayed as well a couple times. Any solutions to this?

I used their adapters to go into the already built-in taps on the filter housing, have both the pressure and temp prosport gauges, i have 0 leaks and beat on her at the track several times a month.

 

no oil leaks at the adapter or sender for me

i just teflon taped it really well.

 

anyone have pics of their setup?

 

I ended up just sending the adapter back, and got my money back. Ill buy the 42draftdesigns one instead.

 

was gonna pick one of these up

is this the one that leaks?
