Default Simple question

What is the sensor that is directly over top the starter going into the block,and can it be the cause of a oil leak? thanks...

might be your oil pressure sender on the back of the manifold. Have you had your manifold off recently or been tugging around back there?
Cheers,

No i havent had the intake off, the car has 4,000 miles on the clock. I can see oil on the up most starter bolt and its running down the plastic cover for the starter/bellhousing. I allready took it to the local dealar and they retightened the passenger side valve pan cover and a spark plug. But i still have the leak and its definitly not comming from the back of the valvepan cover because i can see that its dry... Any ideas is greatly appreaciated.ps i like this board much better than ls1.com I posted over there and just got one smarta** reply.
