Great solution, but be sure to use a 12 point spanner. </div>

<div dir="ltr">Gents,</div>
<div dir="ltr"> 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.</div>
<div dir="ltr"> 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?</div>
