lemosley01 Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Mustang has an oil leak - not huge, but it is dripping on the garage floor, and my wife doesn't like that. 88 Thunderbird turbocoupe engine. It looks like the leak is coming from a sensor, or whatever it is, located right above the oil drain bolt on the driver side and has a single wire coming out of it. There was a blue rubbery piece that was actually pulled out of it it so I pushed that back in, but after running the car for a few minutes, there was a single drip of oil underneath of it. Anyone know what this part is and if it is even capable of leaking oil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lemosley01 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Oil pressure switch? Maybe a dumb question, but what is it used for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tinman Posted November 5, 2006 Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Sounds like an oil level sensor, not pressure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemosley01 Posted November 5, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2006 Sounds like an oil level sensor, not pressure. Matt, ding ding!! You and Rob put me on the right track and I pretty much confirmed it through the Turbotbird forums. Apparently, they are prone to leaking. I just had no idea what to call it to start looking. Thanks for the help. Looks like part # F2AZ-6C624-B and F2AZ-6C626-B (gasket). Who has the local Ford parts hookup? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave1647545494 Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 take it out and screw a plug in there save you the trouble of needing to replace it all the time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemosley01 Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 take it out and screw a plug in there save you the trouble of needing to replace it all the time.... I have given that some thought as well. I assume there is a warning light that it activates. How often do these things crap out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
