    This pic with the small yellow arrow pointing to it, is this common to leak? Can't see that it's leaking anywhere but off the electrical connector. Odd place for it to leak isn't it? I assume this is the oil pressure sensor or sending unit?

    oh hell yeah's!!!!! i hate the pos sensor lol

    they fail all the damn time. get a real oil pressure gauge or you can plug it up with a brass plug like i did. after its blowing out on me 3 times i was not buying a 4 th one.

    some how i bet i win lol



    the rest of it that i scoped out of the sub frame lol



    its replacement didnt last to long. oil leaks kill the rubber and it falls apart. next to it is a new mount thats been drilled drain and filled solid, then coated the top to keep the oil leaks off the rubber.
