Can you tell me where the oil pressure switch is located? I bought a new one and need to change it out but the manual does not tell me where it is located.

Number 2 is the oil pressure sensor, it has three wires. Number 3 is the oil filter housing. Check out the diagrams (Below). Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed.

My car has been diagnosed as a oil pressure sensor. Car is leaking oil on the exhaust system causing smoke and a bad smell. Need to verify the cost of repair.

Hello,

It looks like it is down low on the engine block here is a guide to show you the location. Check out the diagrams (Below) both engines. The sender should cost about $35.00 and labor should be about $60.00. Please let us know if you need anything else to get the problem fixed. Cheers

I have an oil leak and have traced it down to my oil sending unit. But I am unsure what is the easiest and best way to get to it?

It should come off from the bottom, it may take a special socket as well.
