After the drive home last night, my oil pressure idiot light went on, and I noticed oil on the back window. Opened the engine compartment and there's oil everywhere. Looks like the oil pressure sender on the top of the engine is wet. Is this my likely problem? What size MM socket does it take? Thanks, R (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) |

If it is just the oil pressure sender it will be an easy fix. I had the same problem-oil everywhere-and found the problem something else.
On the front of the engine there are a number of studs (four, I think) which are used to hold the fan housing to the engine case. These are behind the fan. One of the studs are near the top and extend into the oil filler section of the case. On my engine this stud backed out and allowed oil to be blown out onto the fan. The fan than flung it all over the engine, rear window, rear hood and roof. The stud backed out to the point that it started rubbing on the fan and cut a nice clean gouge in to it. The bitch of fixing this is you can't fix it without dropping the engine. I hope this isn't your problem. Lesson learned=LOCKTITE IT! |
