Hey guys my car is leaking oil (more like pumping it out...flowing out at a good rate) from the top of the engine and is leaking down the driver side bell housing. Any ideas what could be the problem?

More than likely its the oil pressure sending unit or switch what ever you want to call it. Located on top of the motor behind the intake.

Its not too bad to swap. Ive done it twice on my c5 just pull the intake off and swap it out.

Yea, thats on a c5. He has a camaro. The bottom of the windshield on a camaro is even with the center of the intake not way behind it like on a c5.

Still an easy fix, 30 minutes to an hour MAX.

jmorgan thats f**d up man, i laughed anyway haha.

OP yeah the sensor, it takes a special socket you can buy at Oreilly for 10 bucks, and the sensor is a PITA on a camaro but mine took me 30 min to an hour like Chad said. It looks hard but its really not, get good flashlights and a mirror and youll be fine.

my guess is ether the OPSU or a broken PCV hose.

it was the oil pressure sending unit that was broken and bent

brian_rs/ss
