Default What's the sensor behind the oil cooler?...(more)
Looks like mine's leaking oil out of there. I'm going to replace the oil cooler seal, but I wonder if that sensor or whatever it is is also leaking?

If it is, what's the fix for a leak? Can I just put thread tape on the threads or something?

TIA
Mark.

Default oil preasure sensor.
It has one wire connector and made from off-wite plastic. A lot of people had oil leak there and replaced it. Dealership sells new sensors for ~$11.

Does the new lower-oil-pan include an oil sensor, or just transfer from the old oil pan?
