KA 5 speed: it looks like I have an oil leak through either my neutral position switch or the 5th gear switch. Can't tell which, they're both wet. FSM calls for thread sealant. I think I just used a dab of Permatex 59214. Did I just not use enough? Or is it more likely that the oil is just leaking right through the body of the switch, given that they're old and original? Both switches do work but I had to repair a wire on the 5th gear switch, I wonder if I ruined its internal seal with solder heat.
