Oil Leak

Postby TieNN89 » Sat Jun 06, 2009 2:56 pm

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 :(

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.
