Default Oil leak 928GT oilpressure valve



Working on my electrical connector for the oil pressure valve i found a leak from above it.
It looks like a small but annoying leak and i wonder how to best fix it?
I found some information trough searching around a bit, one person had used yamabond on the threads prior to seating the crush ring and fixed his leak that way.
Any other who has tried this?
Maybe I just need to tighten the crush ring a bit more?
What needs to be removed to do that, remove the alternator and or the oil filter?

remove the battery ground,
remove the alternator.
NOTE dont let the alternator hang from its harness, use a coat hanger to hold it .

it is possible to shear the blue wire then the alternator will stop charging.

tighten the mounting point for the sender,

you might also need a new sender

Be very careful with the threaded adapter. Trying to remove it and replace the washer has caused some much grief, myself included. See this thread for a thorough explanation and remedy for such a problem.

I would try to gently tighten as Merlin suggested, otherwise leave it alone. I only had to remove the oil filter to get in here but I used service wrenches.
