O-ring Posted by Ari [Email] ![]() ![]() In Reply to: Oil level sensor ...gasket ? + rant .., 91Aero.jr, Tue, 15 Jun 2004 09:45:25 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
There is a rubber O-ring on the sensors. Over time, it shrinks and the sensor leaks. You can go to the dealer and pick up another O-ring for about $5. Don't let them sell you a whole new sensor.
The other alternative is to pull the sensor, clean it up a little, and go off to most any decent autoparts/hardware store. See if they have a replacement O-ring. They probably do, for about $0.40. Of course, you'll need a different car, as you need to drain the oil to remove the sensor. Or, to put it another way, when you pull the sensor, the oil will be drained.
