Has any one else encountered this problem before?
There is what looks like an oil sending sensor on the back
of the block that has a slow leak. It leaks directly onto the headers.
I tried to loosen it but it was too tight, dont know what to do.
Any help would be appreciated

 

sounds like the oil pressure switch. sometimes they break and leak internally, so u might need a new one. u can try and take out the switch and reseal the threads to see if that helps. or u can just get a new one, they are not too expensvie, like 25ubcks or so i think.

 

very common problem, best thing is to replace it. 24 mm socket will fit it.

24mm DEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP socket


let's hope it's the sensor not the housing, the housing are known to crack and leak all over the place if you overtighten it, or by adding stress to it(brass tee's for turbo oil juice )

put tape on the thread before you but it back
