Heehee.

Another place to leak indeed.

My Accusump leaked from day one. I re-sealed the connections four times before they stopped leaking. Then the pressure switch developed a leak - Canton replaced it under their warranty.

Is it worth it?

You bet!

I now have oil pressure over the full track at Gainesville, and even on turn 16 at Sebring!

Believe it or not, I could make the oil pressure fluctuate frighteningly just by doing the NASCAR tire-warming maneuver; as I jerked the car left-right-left, the oil pressure would head for zero...

Don't try that on a busy street

I use it as the posters above do, too - if the car sits for a while, it's nice to be able to flip the switch and have pre-start oil pressure

I won't leave home without it!

Tom
