Coolant once it sits on the hot motor get's stuck on there and picks up dirt while your driving make sure it aint leaking from there. right next to that inder the dizzy there is a tiny plug. I believe oil comes out of there when you take it out. I believe it;s the oul pressure sending unit along witht eh one on top of the oil filter..

oh ok i was likt how does a coolent sensor leak oil lol
but yea im thinkin its my oil pressure sensor, i have an extra one from my old head..

so im gonna replace that seal again and replace that sensor
now is there anyrhing i can put on the threads like plumer tape on there to help stop oil from leaking.. and yes i know not to use plumer tape, i was only using that for an example

- Thu Oct 28, 2010 8:54 pm #220536 id use the honda bond because it's high heat. or high heat silicone sealant. make sure you only put it on the end closest to you when your screwing it in. dont want sealant floating around where it isnt supposed to.
