Yep, mine was leaking also last year. Got mine from the International dealer and their part number was 1809435C1. List price was $30.32 back then.

Perfect!...that is the filter sensor. In these "thrifty times" (I'm a cheep B@$t@rd sometimes) I think I will do the 1/8 inch pipe thread plug. Thank you all for you help!

Make sure you don't over tighten it & crack the housing ,,,

Thanks Beans!

I actually found a brass plug that did not seem to tapered. I wrapped it in some teflon tape (the pink colored stuff) and put it in. It felt like it could've gone all the way in so I stopped with a couple of threads left. I drive about 80 miles a day to work and back to hell...um, I mean home so I will keep an eye on it for the next week or so.
