Ok so my friend had headers installed and now it leaks oil. It pours out the drivers side right under and behind the 5 cylinder. What is supposed to be there we tried to get pics but the headers are in the way

There's nothing back there. Temp sensor to the left of that area, but coolant would leak from that.

Check the valve cover, back of the intake and rear main.

the weird thing was it was fine for 2 weeks after the headers install then bam one day it started pouring out the side. There is some object hanging by cable that they couldn't figure out where it goes so I think that has something to do w/ it. BTW this is for a friend not my car

Is there an aftermarket oil pressure gauge in the mix?

nope stock oil pressure gauge.. oh also forgot to say as soon as the kid installed headers his gauge read 0 oil pressure but he said its coming from the side and not from behind.

ya he broke the oil pressure sender, go have whoever installed them replace the sensor.. that sensor needs to be working regardless

since he has a 94 the oil pressure sending unit should be in front of the filter i think. Would he need to remove his longtubes to get to either the sending unit or low oil sensor?

On my 94 Formula the sending unit is at the right rear of the manifold. Pissed me off when it broke but i never had a oil leak.....

well on shbox website it says that early 94 models have it near the filter. mine is also behind the manifold and never leaked oil when it was broke

make sure his oil filter is tight. Also, thats pretty nuts if its "pouring"....he didnt blow a hole out the side of his block did he?

lol it still runs besides the fact that oil spews out the side. I told him if it's coming exactly where he's saying its coming from that he is either wrong or something blew a hole in his block lol
