oil leak, cant find

[scott c]

Just so everyone stays off my back, ive already done the search for 45 min now. I have a leak some where on the backside and it only seems to happen after a good blast. I drips on the exhaust and produces lots of smoke. Wheres theres smoke theres fire! The motors to hot to stick my arm back there or by the time I get it home and jack er up its a no show. The only drips I have on the driveway are from the mains?! Anyway, any personal experiences? maybe the oil pressure sender? eek!

Maybe the oil pressure sender. Maybe the oil level sender too. There would be telltale oil under these senders though. If it is the oil level sender, the sender is pretty expensive, like $30 or so. You can try just replacing the gasket which is just a couple bucks from shonut or ford parts network. That's what I did, I put a little RTV around where the wire enters the sender too. No more leaks there and *much* cheaper than getting a whole new sender.
