oil leak problem

Well after replacing my manifold and carb i have an oil leak. While taking the old manifold off i snapped the oil pressure sending unit off so i had to replace that as well.

the oil is defiantly coming from either the sending unit or the back of the manifold.

does anyone have any ideas as to tell were the leak is coming from? and how to fix both leaks

Hi f250custom78,

Use a light and a mirror to accurately check the back of the manifold and sending unit.

Thoroughly clean that area with degreaser or equivalent and then apply some Loctite grey (or equivalent) gasket sealer, still using a light and mirror.
