Oil leak from tach sender

I am leaking oil on the front of my ldt465C. As best I can tell it appears to be coming from the tach sender/adapter. Has anyone else encoutered this? The last time I drove it it put out enough oil to get on the belts and spray the bottom of the hood. DOn't know if it makes a difference, but prior to that drive it had been parked facing down a decent slope(site of the ever popular cab roll) for a couple of weeks.

I had a somewhat annoying 'high speed leak' in that area that went away once I figured out my engine had too much oil in it by what would have been one mark (2 quarts?) on the stick, and I drained some out. maybe the oil in your drained into the area and got spewed out?

BTW anyone have an extra sender/adapter (maybe off of a ventilated motor) in case this one comes out in pieces?

Well, I'm assuming that this question is either for me or RDM since we collect ventilated motors. I did walk all the way across the yard to check and guess what? I've got one. let me know if you need it!
