So as most of you know, I've been trying to find parts for a previously parted out Gen III engine, I have everything on it now from what I can tell. What I don't know is what goes where I have the masking tape flag hanging down, oil keeps spraying out when I try to crank it so I plugged it with a water temp sensor. I'm guessing a sensor goes there. The view in this pic is looking up from under the engine above the oil filter. If it is a sensor that goes there it doesn't matter because I have all of the sensors that I need connected right now for the EMS to run the engine. I don't see anything about it in the oil routing diagram of the 3sgte manual, so I know it isn't an oil feed to something. Is it a sensor? If so I'll just leave my water temp sensor in there and seal it off.
So can someone tell me what goes here?

check if its a tappered thread, if it is, then its a BSPT, if its not a tappered thread, chances are its either M10x1.25 or M12x1.5
make sure your thread tape doesnt go past the threads, i dont trust bits of plastic floatin around in my engine. -------------------- Mike W
