This is the reservoir we're talking about? The hole for the sender for the "gauge" on the dash? Would it be worth drilling/tapping it to a size larger and just putting a plug in it? Any port in a storm....
LMC and Jeff's have very few (if any) diesel engine parts, since they cater more to the generic pickup/Bronco crowd. I'd be checking the classifieds here and on the other truck forum sites.

ok. no luck at LMC. yes we are talking about the reservoir and the leak is where the sensor is. i tapped it out with a bigger hole about 6 months ago and was good for a bit but its back.

Have you checked a pull it yourself or salvage yard? Anything from 94-97 should be the same part your looking for.. Do you have a picture of the part? Is there a seal or an o-ring that might be broken in that area?

Did you put the same sender back in, or did you put in a plug? If it's the same sender, bigger hole, no surprise it's leaking. Maybe tap it out to the same size as the fill/check plug on top and use one of those plugs. You got nothing to lose, if you're fixin' on replacing it anyway.

For the time being, anyway. At least it'll buy you time to drive the truck 'til you find a replacement reservoir.
