I believe I have an oil leak
And I think its coming out of the sensors
Pressure Sensor/Switch ...
You can just see the Knock sensor I think it is above it with a little oil on it as well
What do you guys think?
Are the sensors busted?
Looks like a PITA! to remove

Yep, that's a oil leak
Looks like only the one is leaking
Should be a cheap and common part

I'd be pretty surprised if an oil presuure sensor was leaking tnhrough the middle of it. Look higher.

Looks the same as an oil pressure switch I replaced on a Corolla a few years back!
Oil leaking from the centre of the switch is not uncommon in all makes of cars.
Mazda Part No is B367–18–501 to suite a NB and should be available from Repco / Bursons or Mazda
