2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

2015 RT - the oil leak looks to be from the oil pressure sensor housing. We'll get a O-ring for the housing and switch, anyone know the torque on the housing screw?

I don't know if there is a torque value on that sensor. It's just a screw that holds the sensor in place. It doen't need to be all that tight.

However, the older sensors (2014-2018) had a metal sensor mated to a plastic body. They tend to leak at that metal to plastic interface, not at the O-Ring seal. BRP changed that sensor to a 1 piece, all plastic design in 2019 which solved the problem.

So, be sure the leak is not THROUGH the sensor instead of around it. My guess is that a new sensor is in your future. We keep several in stock because it is such a common problem with the 14-18 Spyders.

Part # 42066046

Thanks, I’ve got everything cleaned, covers removed, and I will road test it when the rain is gone. Nothing is simple on these things, I guess that’s part of the fun.
