Paul,
That makes me feel a little better (I guess LOL). I lost about a quart and a half of oil when the sensor went. I have some of the ?freckles? under the passenger side floor board and rear wheel well.

I had a problem with a leak and it was caused by one of the bolts (there are only 3) holding the oil filter housing losening up causing a leak.

It might make some sense as Jerry mentioned to remove the oil filter adapter if you have clearance problems. I'd use a new gasket (from Jerry) and torque the three bolts as shown in the FSM. I think you are supposed to use threadlock on them, check the FSM.

Good Luck :cheers:

jrd1990zr1,
I did just that. I was worried that I might have to remove the filter adapter so I went ahead and got the gasket. Do you happen to know the torque #'s? I need to get a FSM!

I think this is the source of my persistent oil leak as well. I was pretty stupid for not replacing it when I last had the filter housing off.

In this pic, what is the plate that the arrow is pointing to? And what size are the bolts that secure it?

Thanks

John,

Thanks! I honestly haven't had a chance to do anything with the car the past 2 days. Hopefully tonight I will have a couple of hours.

7mm or 8mm and yes oil can leak from there. if you can get to it.. let me know how, I want to check mine as well

Re: F!!!! Oil Leak...
 

I've got my oil filter housing removed right now, and am thinking that while my AC system is apart, I may have some extra clearance to reach down in there with a box-end wrench. I will let you know what I am able to come up with.
