Oil pressure sensor

[Reece Tomlinson]

I’ve got a 2002 Ram 1500 3.7l v6 and I discovered a pretty bad oil leak under the truck. Was coming from the oil pressure sensor where the plastic goes to the metal nut. I changed it, all ok. 3 days later the same has happened so put it down to a faulty part so replaced it again. The same has happened again. Pretty bad oil leak.
Any ideas to what’s causing this and how to fix it? Cheers

I would put a mechanical oil pressure gauge on the engine to check for accurate pressure, you may have high oil pressure or it could be another faulty part, I've seen it happen many times.
