VR6Pete 1,455 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 sure its not coming from your oil cooler, directly above your oil filter housing... Link to post Share on other sites

Andi 0 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 Is the oil comming out of the actual sensor ? Or can you just replace the copper washers ? Link to post Share on other sites

Caddyslammed 16 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I had had a couple of leaks before on theses sensors, both leaked from the top, at the spade connector. Link to post Share on other sites
hoppinmad 0 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 I had had a couple of leaks before on theses sensors' date=' both leaked from the top, at the spade connector.[/quote']exactly where mine leaked from. pull off the black rubber cap on the sensor and if oil comes out then its leaking at the top Link to post Share on other sites

hoppinmad 0 Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 i think its a 23mm, i used several extension bars and a U.J. and a good bit of wiggling, do with a cold engine because you will have to wedge a limb down the gap Link to post Share on other sites
