I have been tracking down oil leaks lately, with the goal of eliminating them all.

There is a small leak coming from a sensor that is bolted into the drivers side of the oil pan.


What is the sensor, and what is the gasket called that would fix the oil leak?

oil level sensor

I can't find the oil level sensor gasket on PeachParts.

Can someone tell me what it is called or point me to it?

Thanks.

The gasket is just an o-ring, about 1 1/2" in diameter. The leak may not be from the o-ring. It could be from the center of the sensor where the wire is inserted. The plastic cracked due to old age. It happened to my car and I just ordered a new one. Clean the sensor area real well and take a look again. The o-ring comes with the new sensor.

Hope this help.
