Oil Leak

[Rogue Leader]

I got a leak from what appears to be the oil pressure sender, but its farily new, the mount it goes into that also holds the oil cooler in was a little loose and that SEEMED to cure the problem but it started to leak again within a few miles, its not loose anymore.

The oil pressure gauge works perfectly so i know teh sensor is functional, could the mouting nut go bad, is that a rare part??? Only leaks when the car is running BTW, AND when i first fixxed it it was fine idling in my driveway a few times then i took it out and droive it and hit the boost a few times and it started back again...

Could it be the timing cover seal?

Get some brake cleaner and wash off the oil.Then get some paper towls and rubber bands and wrap the oil sender.If the towels get wet from the inside out..you found your problem

thats what i was figuring. its definitely comming from the pressure sender area. Im gonna super clean it all down and get all the crap off to get a better view...
