First a Drip, then a Stream
So...I drove out to the west side of Illinois today to try (unsuccessfully) to help out a fellow 944 owner. My wife called me to tell me that there were a few drips of oil on my side of the garage.
I check the oil level, it's fine, but there is definately oil spatter all over the driver's side of the engine. I get home (watching the oil pressure like a hawk the whole way), park the truck. I put my drip pan underneat the truck. An hour later there is a puddle underneath the truck about six inches in diameter.
I can't tell exactly where the oil is coming from, but I had the oil pressure sensor replaced last week and it looks like it's coming from close to there....maybe from the pan gasket, maybe from the sensor itself.
Anyway, now I'm freaking out. I hope it's just a pan gasket. I'm worried about a cracked block. That would make my truck...that I still have another 1½ to pay off, essentially worthless....
