OK; I'm on my third leaky crap Chinese aftermarket Neutral Safety Switch in 3 weeks. What's up with these? 3 different brands from 3 different parts houses, and they all seep fluid from between the plastic and the connector pins. I'm trying to locate an NOS unit in hopes it'll not leak! At least its an easy job to replace!

That's annoying you have had this repeatedly happen. Not sure where to recommend getting a new one.
If I recall, I bought 2 from rock auto about 14-15 years ago. The 1st one is still working properly with no leaks. Maybe I got lucky.
Most likely 14 or 15 years ago the parts were better! I did locate an NOS one (mid-70's manufacture) from one of my MOPAR pals in Houston. May also have a line on a few AMC units from before there was a "J" on the part number.
Success!!! :blob1: Located a lot of 4 NOS units - circa mid-'70's. Tossed one in; no more leaks!! New switches = crap; 50-year-old switch = sweet!! Has to be a moral in there somewhere re manufacturing quality.....
Noticed that NOS Mopar units go for $80-$100 on Ebay! Luckily no MOPAR folks wanted the cheap AMC units - probably because they have an AMC part number cast into the plastic. Don't want to chance a judge marking off points due to an AMC part number during concourse show judging! That faux pas would be right up there with having the wrong color paint dab on a bolt head somewhere.
