Do I need to replace ICP pigtail along with the new sensor

Hi all, I was in the midst of replacing leaky HPOP orings, new GPR, new water-drain oring, etc with my 7.3 when I noticed that my ICP sensor was leaking too.

The truck ran before I opened up this can-o-worms, but my questions are these.

Do I need to replace the ICP pigtail too? There was oil inside of the connector, but given that the truck ran before disassembly, should I anticipate any problems?

Thanks in advance as the knowledge of everyone here is saving me and others tons of dough!

Just clean it out and reinstall. That way you will know if the new one leaks in the future.

Also, use a mild cleaner that won't deteriorate the plastic and insulation such as one designed for electronics. A dab of dielectric grease at the opening will help ensure water doesn't get in as well.
