    oil leak help

    i got under the car and traced the oil leak as far as I could. There is a sensor on the right side of the block right above the oil pan that has a blue and orange wire with a tube on it running up the front of the block.I traced it up and about in the middle of the front of the engine is a split in it right behind the fan pully and oil is coming up out of the tube it only leaks when it is running so somebody help the leak is coming up the tube from the sensor on the block

    Probably the oil pressure switch, the rubber boot on it can seal weel enough that it remains dry and pumps the oil into the harness.
    My opinion is very direct and to the point, if you dont like it, then dont post because at some point you are going to get it.

    oil pressure sensor seconded. replace it the next time you do an oil change, once the oil is drained. you will need either a thin walled socket or a wrench (believe 19mm). i got my last sensor at the dealer for $17.
