Oil Pressure Sensor Leak

[THX 138]

If you feel safe getting under the car while it's running and on jackstands, that's the surest way to see where it's leaking. That's how I found the leaking oil pressure sensor on mine.

Tank, thanks for the responses. Bright and early this morning to give it another go before buttoning up and taking to a shop to check. Decided to start to car to see if it would ooze.

There it was, the damn pressure switch. That area was dry, i guess from sitting, but it clearly start to squeeze out after running for a minute. The path was down and around the top of the cooler

Thanks, we were posting at the same time. That is exactly what I did and confirmed

You’re welcome @jabrax . I don’t know what your particular model calls for or if you want to tackle this yourself but I have a list of sealants and a link to the EOP page for the 5.2 in the GT350 Basics sticky in my signature. If you’d like, I could look yours up on the ‘16 Helm. It does NOT cover the ‘15s though but it could give you some sense of what it entails.
