Does the oil pressure sensor need Teflon tape ?(5.3 liter)

I used the yellow in the past. The one made for gas lines, and can handle the oil and not deteriorate

What yellow paste?I replaced it a few months ago and I noticed today oil on the floor.took a pic of the o.p.s and I could see some leakage coming out of it.

Not "paste". I said "In the past"

I've used the yellow teflon tape made for a hydrocarbon environment.

Pep Boys & AutoZone don't show teflon tape.
Advance Auto does show Mr Gasket 2842G teflon tape.
I went to Amazon and found this ^^^...rated for gas & oil...

A call to my local Advance Auto told me that they would have to order it.
Try looking up Napa or whatever is nearby.

Glad it was an easy fix.
This is prob telling me to go around my car and inspect the driveline for bolt tightness.

I got mine at Lowes. I've seen it at Home Depot too. It's in the plumbing section, where the gas and propane lines are.

Well, my wife & I have worked almost all day, and we decided to go for a ride in the evening. I get in the car, and the driver's seat, front bolts let loose, allowing the seat to rear up, backward. A new carpet just went in, & the bolts were prob not snugged down. From here, I think a nut on each bolt might not be a bad idea.
"Someone's" looking after me!
