![]() Has anyone had a problem with oil leaking out of the check oil light sensor, which is the low oil level sensor that is positioned in the side of a stock sump. There is a large metal fitting that the sensor goes into, can you take this out? is there an o ring in there for sealing? Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks Chris ************************************************** **Stock 89 GT 5 Speed |

![]() Yes, its the plug in the drivers side of the oil pan, there is a wire going into it and thats where I am loosing oil. I noticed that it was dripping yesterday and left a small puddle of oil about 3 inches in diameter. Hopefully its just a O ring that needs changing.

![]() I believe you can get a new gasket for the check-oil sensor in the oil pan. Goto your Ford dealer and get a gasket next time you change your oil.
