As mentioned in subject, have a small amount of oil seeping from cover. Parts list shows cover (5812010264) but no gasket. Is a gasket available?

Fix "should" be easy -- remove cover, make or buy new gasket, refit.

Before I do this I want to know if the switch will explode from the aperture in pieces and give me a difficult repair job. If so, I'll leave it alone.

Any advice?

Thanks, Steve C
 
Hi Steve - The cover is just to protect the actual switch  - not to seal itself- the leak can be from the actual switch or from the seal not being oiltight from switch to cases - this is done by sized aluminium washers - they also dictate the amount the sensor on switch touches onto the camplate. - Regards - Phil
 
When my neutral switch started leaking..it was from the plastic insert. I used some JBWeld to reseal the plastic to the metal case and brass center on the outside of the switch. Worked very well years ago and no more leaks.
