Subject:      [FIX] seal on Expansion Tank sensor
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1


I flushed the coolant a week or so ago, and was checking the expansion tank
today (again) after driving...I'm happy that I'm not losing any level from
overflow/refill tank, and the small bubble of air at the top of the
expansion tank has worked itself out...BUT i saw a glimmer of liquid around
the edge of the sensor that's set into that expansion tank, and sure enough
when I touched it was wet.  The system was hot and when I pressed on the
sensor plug it hissed a teeny hiss of air.


Question-- how do I seal that again (as in "with what"). Also, can whatever
goop go on it as is, or do I have to take it apart and dry it? (I don't
wanna re-bleed the system.  Whaaaaaaaa!)
