All 3 sensors in my trannie are leaking....What should I do in order to stop the leaks???

(Manual tranmission, S13, 1989)

Maybe some teflon tape around threads??? The sensors seem to be working fine is just a small leak that gets all over the transmissiion and makes a mess down there...

thanks

teflon tape or rtv would work. or just a simple blind eye

teflon tape will do the trick, in the FSM it says to use thread sealant

Yes it is gear oil, I check underneath and clearly see where the sensors area is moist and wet, I took them off and reseal with teflon paste, Im trying to take care of all deficiencies (Im very picky...) before my car goes to the paint shop this week.....I also got a new wing for it, I will post pics later after paint job.....

thanks for the help guys!!!
