I'm not sure what this push in plug is.

Get a new oil pressure switch (this is probably what has broken). These tend to break when you let Jiffy Lubers remove your filters. You will want to specify if you have a tach or not. When this is replaced, you should be leak free.

yea, just get a new sending unit and it should be good...something like 15 bucks

Ok, if you want to split hairs.
Correct grammar would look like this at the Graduate level.

I am an educator on summer recess. Therefore, I shall refrain from making grammatical corrections.

Ha ha. Semi colons are to be used rarely. The educational elites prefer that one deliver thoughts independent of each other if possible. Merely the present grammatical fad. just like the new APA requirements that came out this month.

smtippin

I suppose it depends which field you're in. My wife, an English scholar who studied at Oxford, would drill me because I didn't use semi colons or separate thoughts into two sentences. She had no qualms with semi colons in English literature but I'd agree that they are less than ideal in my field.

Bottom line: You're right. It is summer and we should not spoil a good forum with 5th grade English lessons. But...what is the deal with the new APA guidelines?

No word on WHAT the new rules are, prolly use semicolons everywhere! I just emailed Styleease to see if they are going to send a patch for my software!

smtippin

software? CHEATER! I'm stuck using the black and red style manual. Course a couple hundred page dissertation will force you to commit most of it to memory by the time you're done. I'll have to look into the software though. Is it spendy?

S.
I'm a writer so stopping to look in a manual is a waste of effort. It's styleease -google it- Think it cost me $30. There's an update coming out soon so I'd wait a while. Well worth the $$ though

To the OP sorry it was so much $$ there! They are less than $20 at an auto parts store here! Don't forget some teflon tape on the threads when you install it. Won't leak that way!

smtippin

Sorry it cost so much. I think the costs are different based on year ranges. All I know is mine was going to cost between 36-60 USD. It will be well worth it though. Just make sure not to over tighten when you install as the threaded part is plastic (if I can recall correctly) and may break easily.

I'm glad you found the source and at least it is a simple fix, if a little spendy.
