Hi All,

Finally got around to replacing the leaking oil level sensor see photo) - the oil was leaking from the plastic collar that holds the electrical connection ...o ring was fine.

I had ordered the part and didn't realize it was Chinese ...or would have paid more for Euro sourcing ...I try to never buy Chinese ...

Anyway, easy replacement ...gotta drain oil and I needed to.

Drained oil, couple of 10mm bolts on the sensor housing, and the sensor just slips out ...swapped with the good one. Not including the oil change ... About 3 minutes.
