Discovered where coolant has been going on Bugsy my '68 Sprite when I noticed that temp sensor appears to be leaking around the inside where the sensor fits inside the nut. This is an in the block sensor on a 1098. Who's got some good tips other than being careful not to damage the tube and letting the ether out in terms of tightening this up and preventing a leak.
Teflon Tape
Plumber's Putty
How do I go about cleaning up and stopping the leak.
Got a Dremel tool and mini wire brush as one of the tool I figure I'll be using to clean things up. Sandpaper to clean contact surfaces on the sensor.
Amazing the times you'll find once you pull the hood, valence, and fenders off to start installing a Bugeye Bonnet. Now that Bugsy is naked up front I've just added another dozen things to fix to my list before June.
