Re: F!!!! Oil Leak...
Well it's not the oil cooler lines they are dry aloof with the lower radiator hose. I am going to try getting at that sensor but at this point I can't even see it!
**got the sensor disconnected and it is full of oil (disconnected not removed that's going to be a bish!) It is still a bunch of oil could it really all just come from this one sensor?*

Re: F!!!! Oil Leak...
If it were me, think I would go with removing the oil filter adapter.

Re: F!!!! Oil Leak...
I think that is what I'll have to do. I attempted to go from the bottom but everything is welded. The bar and bracing up top doesn't get in the way to much I can get my hand to the sensor but that is about it. Thank you Jerry

1-1/16" open end. 12pt box end won't go on. Sensor socket is 6pt (rounded corners)

Re: F!!!! Oil Leak...
Jeff,
I looked over the car and never noticed it and it never leaked a drop before this "blow out". But then again I only had it for 3 days before this happened... None of the engine cradle or aluminum on the block is stained so it doesn't look like it was leaking much if any before. So do these things just go like this? I am still worried it is something worse but after going all over it I can't find anything. The motor starts with no issues and runs just fine with no loss of oil pressure.

Then on my first pass on the drag strip on the infamous day Dominic crashed, the sensor finally blew out big time!! Far as a trend goes, a single datum does not a trend make, but there now you have ONE! P.
