Oil Sensor?
I have a 1989 Ford Mustang GT. It has a sensor on the side of the oil
pan, just above one of the oil drain plugs. I believe it detects when the oil is too low and is connected to a Check Oil light on the instrument panel. Does anyone know what this part is called and where I can get one? Mine has a slow leak. Thanks Byron |

Oil Sensor?
You may not need a new sensor. I believe there is a plastic gasket that
can go bad. I had the same problem may years ago and I think I just swapped the gasket. Either way, go to a Ford dealer with a parts department and you'll find what you need there. jonezzzman wrote: > I have a 1989 Ford Mustang GT.

Go to Autozone, Napa, etc. and you can search for parts there. Like I said, if you only have a leak a new gasket is all that is needed. |

Like I > said, if you only have a leak a new gasket is all that is needed. Thanks for your help. I bought the o-ring/gasket. It was about $5. However, oil appears to be coming from where the wire plugs in. Hard to tell if its the gasket or not. The sensor costs $50. I'm gonna wait on the sensor to see if the o-ring will work. I'll let you know. Thanks Byron |
