The oil pressure sensor is leaking oil. Is this something that is easy enough for me to replace? I have one good arm right now due to injury. Do they sometimes just need to be tightened? Does the oil need to be drained prior to job? Thanks, Rick

Hi Rick,

No the oil doesn't need to be drained. You can try tightening first. But would have new one in hab=nd just in case.
