Re: Need Some Help!

Slow down a little bit. I couldn't figure out what you are trying to say.

It sounds like an oil leak but your description is all over the place. What is a tapping pan gasket? Oil pan gasket?

The oil pan and timing cover gaskets go hand in hand sort of. The oil pan needs to be removed (or at least pulled down) in order to get the timing cover off. The oil pan gasket covers the lower part of the timing cover so it would need to be replaced too (there is a way around that but no guarantee it won't leak).

Why do you say the oil pressure sender is a problem? Is it leaking too? If so, take it out, clean the threads and reseal it with teflon tape or teflon sealant.

Why do you think you need a new timing gear set?

Please take each concern one at a time and provide more details as to what is wrong and why you think it needs to be replaced/fixed.
