TC leak from sensor
 
After having my TC resealed it's started leaking again. Appears to be the sensor on the front above the drive shaft. I assume there is an o ring that seals it? Is the sensor screw in or pressed in?
Worth just trying to tighten it first?

My best guess is it's number 3 on this page. So either washer not sealing or can it leak through the actual switch itself. Does the fluid level sit that high with the vehicle stationary? Need to know if it will gush gear oil if I remove it lol

Ok, so no way should you be leaking from that switch, it is way above the fill plug. Have you pulled the plug to check the oil level yet? Do you park facing downhill? Anyway, pulled mine out, there was no seal washer but I would recommend one - copper or plastic. I see in the rave section they talk about he sealing washer.

I assume the oil sloshes up there while driving and what I see on the driveway is residual. Sounds like it screws in so I'll see if it's loose.
