Yes, 1/2", I checked it today. Did someone tell that what would seem to be
easy to fix would actually be easy? It's an Austin-Healey! Seriously, notice
that the open end of the wrench head is not aligned with the handle. You
need to tighten the nut as much as you can and then flip the wrench over and
tighten it a little bit more. Keep flipping the wrench until you get it as
tight enough to spot the leak. Also, find a wrench that is as short as
possible.

 

Been there, done that.

the problem is that even though i can get a wrench onto the nut, you can't
turn it because various obstacle prevent rotation of the wrench arm.....rich

Something like this might work

All, 

My last question regarding the leak from the oil pressure gauge: What is the
correct size of the box wrench I would need to follow the advice that
Michael Oritt had suggested on a prior posting? Thanks as always.....rich
