ok guys i have an oil leak that won't go away, and i'm about to take a friggin hammer to the thing. i swear that if i have to coat the whole motor in jb weld the damn thing is gonna not leak. so far i've replaced the rear main, pan gasket, valve cover gasket, oil press sending unit, and filter boss seal set. it now looks like it's also coming out of the dipstick handle:flamemad: and that's got rtv in it drying right now. i ran it earlier today and saw(from underneath) bubbles slowly coming out of that damn sending unit (that seam where the plastic part meets the metal that screws in)- this is my third one in a year. the first one was from autozone, the last 2(including the 4 month old unit that is on there) were from carquest. before i fork it out at the dealership, has anybody had a brand new OEM sending unit leak? is there another problem spot that i should look for? why the hell would it come out the top of the dipstick? any info whatsoever would be much appreciated.
