Can't find this part or it's name... leaking oil

[JEEPRUSTY]

Did yah do the talc test?

Hell man its probably the joint that experiences the highest pressure,
I pick the two o-rings I posted in the thread.....................

thanks! another question... in the pic i posted in the first post, you can barely see a plastic wiring connector... where does it go? it runs down by the pressure sensor, but has no where to connect it to. let me know if you all can't tell what I am talking about and I will take a better pic of it.

It clips on the T shaped head of the switch. You only need to replace the oring in the switch base and the gasket for the cover. The switch screws in and out of the cover easily. And check the threads of the switch to be sure the plastic housing hasnt cracked.

I think I am missing a part. Can you post a picture of what it looks like, where you attach the wiring to the cap?

That looks to me like a leak at the front of the engine flowing between the cylinders. Clean the heck out of that engine and use the powder as suggested.

How do you see a leak at the front of the engine? The oil sensor is behind the cylinders, underneath the cam tensioner and carbs.

I am still puzzling how that leak could barf up 2.5 quarts of oil during a 60-mile ride.

I an replacing the entire oil sensor plate and all the gaskets and o rings. Hopefully this well fix the problem. When I drive, it just pours out. When its idling, its just a slow leak. Ineed to see where to connect that wiring connector though

There's a little copper post on top of the tan sensor switch in your picture. The wire connects there.

No, it's not

Now, quit screwing around ,clean your engine and spray it with foot powder

You're on #9, #10

A shortcut is the longest way to get something done

[hoehn.marcus]

ok. here is a pic of the situation... any input would be helpful. if you need info just ask me and I will answer. Im still leaking oil quite badly.

It appears to be obvious that it is coming out of the oil pressure sensor.
As that is where the main oil galley is that is where the oil has the most pressure/volume.

Replace the gasket, O-ring and sensor as needed.

While you are there, rebuild the cam chain tensioner. You have to remove the carbs to do it, so do it now while the carbs are off and you won't need to touch it for another 10-12 years.
Here is the procedure.

Why are we telling him to change so many parts when there is NO CLUE YET where it really is coming from? I have not seen any definitive word from him that he found the exact location of the leak? All I'm seeing is I'm seeing oil here and here.

Please, before you take anything else apart or spend money on buying any more parts, clean things up and make sure where the leak is coming from. I had to do that last year and knew exactly the leak was coming from the pushrod seal. If I hadn't taken that time to really look for it I'd have been into the oil pan for no reason (although I did swap that out anyway over the winter but that's a different reason).
