So this little guy sprung an oil leak yesterday..what is it lol
So do any of my more mechanically inclined CompD peeps happen to know what this sensor is?
I walked out to my truck for lunch yesterday and saw a little spot of oil under it. Got pretty nervous seeing oil on the side of the front dif and on the side of the motor so I grabbed a can of brake cleaner after work and cleaned everything up under it last night and crawled around under it with a flash light for about 15 minutes and finally found this little guy. It will only leak when the trucks running and has pressure. Laying in front of the drivers side tire looking up its about halfway up the front side of the motor. I don't think replacing it will be that hard other then the fact I don't know what it is haha
I was pretty happy when I found the leak and realized it looked like a "cheap fix" being its a little plastic guy.

did you buy the right socket for it, or just use channellocks? I know HF sells the 7pc sensor sock set for like 30-40 bucks.
EDIT:... Oxygen Sensor and Diesel Injection Socket Set
