Looks like your oil pressure sender may be leaking (item at far left in pic#3 with the green connector). To check, top up the oil, put the filter back on and remove the connector from the sensor then run the motor and see if oil is leaking from inside the sensor. Hope this helps!

Pulled the dipstick and the pan was dry, I lost a lot of oil somewhere on the trip (I know b/c my mufflers are even covered in oil) and lost the rest of it while the car sat overnight. It's obviously coming from the passenger side of the car. I've been doing some research here on AF and have narrowed the culprits down to these:
1) Gasket between oil filter adapter and engine block
2) Timing cover gasket
3) Oil pan gasket
I took some photos after pulling the wheel, belt, and oil filter off. The album can be found here: https://picasaweb.google.com/doublea...eat=directlink
My initial guess is that the timing cover gasket is bad. I'd like to get the opinion of the enthusiasts on here who may have dealt with this sort of problem before. Let me know if additional photos will help, I'd also like to get the harmonic balancer off for easier inspection. Again, my vehicle information is in my signature. Thanks in advance for any help!! |
