Default Small things

Replaced radiator and have small leak at low coolant sensor. Placed small o ring on sensor but still get a trickle. What's best to fix this, just some RTV? Also wondering if anyone knows what size bolt fits at top of waterpump where air diverter bracket mounts? Keeping it to small things -- this is, after all, Monday.

Try some teflon tape on the threads first. If it's just leaking around the threads, the teflon tape should cure that problem.

yes, it is on my 1986 L98. The sensor "clicks" in. There are no threads, there are two clips to hold it in place (that's why I thought o ring would work).
