Where is the oil pressure sensor?
Hi,
Last year I had my oil pressure sensor replaced since it was giving dodgy readings. A few months after that, my car developed a leak - which was traced to the new pressure sensor. It was replaced under warranty - but the same thing happened again soon afterwards. Again it was replaced under warranty.
My oil leak has now come back. It looks to me like it is leaking from the top of the engine, behind the throttle assembly (in other words, take off the airbox and then you can get to it by reaching around the back). There is a small brass coloured cylinder with a groove down one side attached to the top of the engine. It has two wires connected to it (green, and green/red).
My guess is that this is the oil pressure sensor and the same problem has occurred again. Can anyone confirm? If not - can anyone tell me what it is?
