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...
 
I think your wording is a little in shambles:) Is it leaking at the oil sending unit with the electrical plug that goes to your idiot light and gauge or at the oil filter adapter where your oil cooler lines screw in? If it is the sending area you may need to take it apart and put thread tape on. If it is the oil filter adapter it could be the gasket. If it is the oil cooler adapter it could be the nut that your oil filter screw on needs tightened or the o-ring in the oil cooler adapter needs replaced. Which one?:confused:
 
thats te think it SEEMS to be from where the electrical pressure sender goes into the nut... but theres so much sludge.... gotta clean it all off and check...
 
Intercooler, or anyone that knows. Those parts for the oil cooler that Intercooler mentions above such as the mountng nut, any o-rings or any of that, are they common or am I gonna have to orderr this crap??? I know the sender I can get at pep boys, Im just afraid of everything else...
