Oil leak

89 911 Looks like my oil cooler is leaking. Could be the seals or cooler itself. Where is the sensor located? If it is near this could be the leak. I cleaned it off and will check it next week. Can the cooler be easily removed from the bottom? What about the oil pressure sensor?

Yes, a pic would help, but only a little. You will have to clean and track where the leak is coming from. There's lots of threads and discussion about leaks around or near the oil cooler (as well as other parts of the engine). Start there and then narrow your problem down to more specific questions.

Have you done any work in that area recently, or did this just start leaking de novo?
