ICP question???

Ive read about seeing oil in the ICP wiring cap. Is this a sign of a bad ICP?

Be careful with the eBay one. Heard of quite a few with some adapter that I've heard of leaking before or not threading correctly.

Just to clarify the ebay part I bought was OEM ...the International one is 1 1/8 and the Ford one is like 5/8 ..I used a deep socket and Torqued it same as the oil plugs (40 lb-ft ?)

OK guys i was checking out the ICP that on my truck and it looks round on top wit a nut below, but does not look like you can get a deep well socket to go over it to remove. It looks this way in a few pics ive seen as well. The new 1s however look as if you can use a socket to install.
I guess i need to just wrench it out slowly?

Well of course. UK all the way. I'll have to hit you up next time I come down that way.

I'd get the one for the 97.
