KSB sensor...leaking?

Postby J-link » Tue Mar 25, 2014 10:12 pm

When I leak tested my Turbo, cooler, and intake, I found that my KSB sensor had a leak at the top where the plastic goes into the brass that screws into the intake.

Should I get a new one? Take it out and put a plug in the hole with some Teflon? Close the Hood and forget I saw it?

TIA

Was it leaking bad, or just barely enough to notice? If it's not bad, you could just run it, but if it's really hissing, I'd pop a new one in...really just comes down to what you feel comfortable with ;)

Not really hissing, just small bubbles :?: i guess close the Hood and forget about it

Im not sure what the price is on it, I don't even know what the part number is and honestly I've been slack and haven't went to the parts house to see if the have one


Any one have a part number on the KSB sensor from Cummins?
