DesertHonda - Thanks! It was the oil pressure sending unit .. I changed it myself without too much trouble ( had to run to auto parts store and get 15/16" ) socket.... but I think it's fixed now !!!! Thanks to all of you !!!!

 

that's sweet man, congrats on fixing it yourself! I'll bet that just saved you some cash!

 

Estimate was 40.00 plus part plus Tax = ~50.00

My cost = 8.00 part ( plus 4.00 for cheapo socket, and approx 1 hour time )

 

Hey I think I have the same problem. It looks like the oil is coming from the filter but it is probably just dripping on to it. Where is the oil pressure sending unit located? I think I need to change mine as well.

Thanks in advance
Dave

 

Sorry forgot to put signature so here it is

 

The voice of experience should alwaysbe listened to. Great call DH.

 

DoI have tochangethat from under the car? Do I need to remove theoil filterto get to it?

 

First off,, you need to Diagnose what the problem is,, if it is the oil pressure sending unit ,, yes you need to remove the filter and yes you need to replace it from under the car ..

 

Thanks....Got it out. Getting a new one today. I also had to change the drivers side cv shaft so there was lots of room under there to get at the sending unit. I am pretty sure it is leaking from there because the oil is pouring down around the oil filter and onto the exhaust only when the car is running. Thanks again!!

 

The sending unit is located directly above the oil filter... there is a little rubber boot around it if you slide that boot back/pull it back a little and it has some oil in it then that's most likely your problem.
