Dropping oil pressure as I drive/smell of burnt oil
Dropping oil pressure as I drive/smell of burnt oil
Well as the title says, my oil pressure drops as I drive, also I could smell burning oil at one point in the first time driving. Should I change the oil and see if its still doing the same thing??
HELP!!! I'd really like to drive this thing by next weekend

Check your level to see what it is. Look underneath to see if or where it is leaking. Most likely your oil is hitting the exhaust somewhere and thats the smell your gettting. Start by checking your oil level first.

Had this happen a while back, as pressure comes up, the oil will come out the center of the sender itself.
Yeah when I got under the car I saw where the oil had leaked out onto the exhaust pipe, thats why I smelled burning oil. Just ordered the new unit tonight so it should be in by wensday.

What? How is oil getting that far back from the sensor?
My fingers are crossed on the sensor being the problem for ya though. If it's the rear main seal :(

That far back? the sending unit on a 95 3.4 is right beside the oil filter which is righ beside Im guessing the exhaust down pipe. When we were about to change the oil, my dad noticed oil spots on the drive way, so I looked under the car and bloop! its dripping off the unit.
