[Healeys] the oil drip

[john spaur]

Great solution, but be sure to use a 12 point spanner.

Richard--

Saw a small section--just big enough to go over the oil line--from the correct size box-end (closed-end) wrench, slip it over the oil line and tighten away one point at a time.

Best--Michael

Gents,
    I recently inquired about the source of an oil leak that was dripping from under the dash onto my left pant leg. As most suggested, it was the connection to the oil pressure gauge that proved to be the source. I was advised to tighten that nut. Thanks to you all for that advice.
    I tried tightening the nut while on my back under the dash. It seems impossible to get a box wrench onto the nut and then be able to turn it because of so many other obstacles in the way prevents rotation of the wrench. Do I need to pull the. gauge through the dash into the cockpit in order to access that nut or is there some trick to getting it done from the position I tried but failed?
