420A 2gNT Oil Leak

[Slow_Rs]

I’ve checked a lot of places for the leak and can’t seem to pin point it, i’ve changed the oil pan gasket, the filter doesn’t leak, and i’ve also changed the valve cover gasket, the oil will drip off of the crossmember from behind the block, compression is good and no liquid or anything on the plugs.

Any help is appreciated

Put some UV fluorescent dye (https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NTE...nUkRxEAfmdE-NN66Muhg9lLQP5KM66caAgVoEALw_wcB&) in the oil, run 10 minutes, and shine a UV light (with it's glasses) on suspect areas. Leak will show up as bright orange/yellow. Here's the UV light I use "https://www.testequipmentdepot.com/...ut2PeFTAvNrPDDBuNElJJaNIjcuLmnloaAvudEALw_wcB". There's cheaper ones but they are not as bright (to see leaks more than 12" away).

Oil leak? Welcome to the 420a world.

Based on the info you gave, it sounds like it could be leaking from the oil pressure sensor (OPS).

alright i’ll check that out, something i’ve noticed too is that it only leaks while the car is running as well, cod that open more options?

it only leaks while the car is running

That' because you have no oil pressure when the engine is not running.

i look at the oil pressure sensor and it wasn’t even plugged in all the way ‍ car isn’t leaking anymore, thanks for the help!
