sister's car. has a decent oil leak. first thought it was oil pan. ..replaced it. leaks just as much as before. cleaned very well with cans of brake cleaner...then checked next day. crank seal= dry. rear bank of engine pass side= film of oil on timing cover gasket. not really the leak i'm getting. primary leak is coming under a/c compressor. removed it (three bolts) to move it slightly to see behind it. the oil pressure sensor leaks...this is a drip leak woohoo. ok i think that's it. i believe it is sealed with an o-ring. just guessing. thought i'd post this. later.

The sensor has 1/4 pipe threads. Use some thread sealer and tighten it into the reducing bushing in the block. Check to see if the bushing is tight also.
