Can I use PTFE Tape to stop oil leak?

[martinlaw]

My oil pressure sender unit is now leaking quite badly through the thread that screws into the block.

Can I use PTFE tape (plumbers use it) to seal the thread, will it take the pressure and heat or is there something better to use?

Thanks,
Martin.

Thanks guys, lets hope it sorts the leak and it is the only one!
