Default Temperature Gauge Leak

The goose neck is not the issue. The adapter that screws into the goose neck is the issue, or, more likely, the nut on the new temperature gauge is the issue. (It turns out that the old temperature gauge nut screws into the new goose neck adapter fine and the old temperature gauge does not appear likely to leak.)

The downside of the regular gooseneck is that a thermostat tends to migrate toward the radiator. The new goose neck puts the thermostat adjacent to the block for more accurate temperature readings.
