Default Oil leak near oil pressure sensor and filter


Any idea where this oil could be coming from and how to fix it? Didn’t see anything by on where it could be coming from.

Rather braud area your questioning here?? I can hit you with the usual suspects though for oil leaks/seapage. Valve cover gasket, oil pressure sending unit, oil filter, oil filter adapter O-ring (this is the think that mounts to the side of the block and kicks that oil filter parallel to the engine block) oil pan, crank seal at the harmonic balancer. Could even be that it looks like your dipstick tube is partially pulled out of the block?

Start at the top and work your way down. If you've not changed it, I'd guess valve cover gasket.

Default ATTENTION ALL USER: Please read before posting!!!To all users of CF:

PLEASE, before posting technical questions, take some time to help others out, by adding details in the user control panel. There's 2 ways to do this. First, in the upper left corner on the front page of the site, is a menu button labeled UserCP.




After you click on that you'll see this menu:





Please take the time to click on the highlighted sections and fill out the vehicle information for your vehicle. The signature link is also helpful for any additional information like mods done, links to your build or other vehicles owned.

This helps EVERYONE out by informing them immediately about your year, make, model, etc.

These details are necessary for responders to accurately answer your questions without guessing or having to ask what are the specifics of the vehicle you are referring to. You can add these details easily and permanently by creating a signature or adding your truck details to your existing signature.

5 minutes of your time doing this now will save a ton of time and effort later.



Thanks!!!

CF staff

been hearing from a few people about the oil filter seal and my valve cover looks like it might be leak so will take a look at both. Thanks
