how would i go about fixing a leak thats on this knob on my oil filter housing? its like a cap and it points down but leaks!
 
I believe that the cap thing is either the oil pump sensor or a plug that looks like a cap...either way you will most likely need to drain the oil(if you don't...big mess) and remove the plug, use some teflon tape(sparingly) and reinstall the plug. I guess the sensor could leak but if it appears to be comming from where it connects to the motor then you could probably remove it tape it reinstall it.
 
hey guys
I to have an oil leak comming from my oil pump sensor and I cant tighten it up enough to make it stop. Did i over tighten it? it seems to come from between the nut and where the sensor comes through the nut.
sencely with hope,
E.J.

Over-tightening will cause the tapered threads to crack the housing. Try some Gaskacinch sealant or Permatex High-Tack on it, you may get lucky.

The first one sounds like the oil pressure relief valve.
