Yeah mine acts up too. In the am the car has good pressure, but as the engine gets hot pressure seams to dropand the leaking begins.

Well I got the socket yesterday but it was too laye to mess with it. I did try to reach my arm behind the intake.....The sendng unit had to be laughing cause I couldnt even feel it. what is the best way of getting to it?

Stick your hand around the back of the intake. Feel for the OPSU, and feel for oil at the back of the engine. Very easy to tell if the sending unit is leaking.

And FWIW, it's not very common for these cars to leak. I've had mine for 10 years now with no problems.
