#96037, "oil leak"




          

So i've dropped about 3/4 of a quart in the last 2 weeks (750-800 miles) I originally thought that oil was leaking from the oil pressure sensor and turbo oil feed line, but when i got under there just a little while ago it almost looked as if it was dripping from the knock sensor. Anyways I was just wondering if that's ever happened to anyone else or if their cheap to replace incase its actually due to the sensor. Also there's oil pretty much everywhere, i need a better look with a flash light but i'm just really hoping it is coming from one of the two sensors b/c I will be super pissed if its the headgasket, I want to rebuild but I don't want to be forced to before I have some extra cash.

Anyways sorry for the long rant I'm just pissed about the leak. Come to think of it I usually burn about a quart every 1500-2000 miles so the pace hasn't picked up that much with this leak

Your going to have to clean off the motor with degreaser and let the car run to find the leak. The knock sensor cant leak. the Boss it threads into is just a threaded mount hole, there isnt any passage to the oil ports in the block.
