Man I'm bummed. I was noticing oil on my brack pedal (and shoe) and traced it up to the gauge. I check the line going there, but it's way tight. It looks like the gauge itself is leaking. Fastlane wants 363$ for it which I don't have right now. I'm thinking of looking into a junk yard or something. If anyone knows how to fix this thing or has and extra cluster you don't want, let me know.

That's what I'm likely going to do, just cap it off for now. I'm currently looking for a used replacement.

I'd definitely check a junkyard.

I know of a couple of local junkyards that usually have two or three 123's on their lot, and several times I've scavenged a part for under $10 that might have cost $500 at the dealership.

My next easter egg hunt will be for some cruise control parts ...

While searching the net, I ran across Carparts.com used parts search. I searched and found a whole pod for 48$! That the speedo and all. To give you an idea of how good a price that is, I had visited many web sites and was getting quotes like 175-200$ for the whole pod and 75-100$ for the cluster itself. Anyway, hopefully this will fix my problem and maybe someone else can benefit from Carparts.com's used parts service.
