So, fresh motor and I see oil droppings. Good thing its nothing major, its just the screw in sensor in the driver side of the oil pan. I'm sure its not leaking were it seals but almost like its leaking from the plug. How do I go about fixing this leak?

lol, i dont know anyone with an lt1 that it hasnt happened to. i thought it was a rear main seal or a bad drain plug and replaced both and noticed it was still leaking. cheapest fix from the dealer, cant beat it for under 30 bucks

yep. under 25bucks even after tax at the gm dealer, while autozone and cskauto had em for 38 after tax

cost me like $30 because I broke mine the other day, forgot to remove it when putting the oil pan back on lol

Well put a new one on for 25 bucks and now it doesn't leak but my low oil light come on! Can you believe that! Maybe if I clean the connector up a lil more it'll make good connection and go off.

I would return it as defective and get another one...that isn't something you want messing up...

I just bought one from RockAuto D8055 for my son's 96 LT1 during our heads and cam swap project.

I never wired mine back in..I always check the Oil every time I start the Car. I made mine into a plug and never had a problem with it.

Under $30 from the dealership? Are you kidding me? Wow, when I called about 4 months ago they tried telling me $68 for this part. Unless they had parts mixxed up,, which is not out of question
