Leaky oil pressure guage?

[d.delano]

Greetings All
I have not driven my car in about a month and a half, partly due to the extreme heat(A/C crapped out) and partly due to lack of time. So today I go out intending to take a drive, and I see some oil has dripped down onto the rubber floor mat I put on top of the carpet on the driver's side, left of the brake pedal underneath the oil guage. It has run down the plastic dead pedal actually, onto the rubber floor mat. Just a few ounces as of yet, but I'm afraid as with all things w123 it will get worse if I don't fix it now. Back around Thanksgiving I pulled the cluster to investigate the broken odometer and to replace the speedo cable. This leak has not presented itself until now. ??? I just changed to Rotella syn after using Mobil 1 T&SUV 5w40 since I have owned the car. I don't understand how an oil guage could spring a leak without having any pressure on it like that, while the car is parked. This vehicle is something else.
Does anyone have the name of the member who has a stockpile of these guages? I know 'can.do' has a thread detailing how to resolder the brass snake inside there but I don't want to mess with that right now.
Thanks All
