no Not all ways true I changed the Oil sending unit on My 1993 Chrysler lebaron convertible 3.0 Now it is still Leaking and it is not the oil filter the leak is above the oil filter. some where it is not from the engine block area !!! I replace valve cover Gaskets . and Oil sending unit. thank u . still coming from above the Filter and it is not th e filer.......
It might be the sender unit or you are using an oil grade that is too thin and the oil pressure is down a bit. However, the oil pressure switch is located on the engine block above the sump level and looks a bit like a small spark plug with black insulation. It has one wire coming from it with a press on connector. Replace it and if you have the same problem the next in line would be:-
Oil change and filter (20W-50)
Leaking oil pressure relief valve
Worn oil pump
Worn valve train components
Worn bearings
yes, the oil pressure switch and oil sending unit are the same just two ways of saying it, i will enclose a picture of the oil pressure switch, this switch is located on the driverside of the engine in the lower front part of the block. hope this is helpful.
The oil sending unit is on the block next to the distributor.I would also check the oil filter adapter and the cooler lines.They are known for leaking.Also valve cover gaskets.
Below is a diagram of your PCV valve. It's not a difficult repair to perform yourself as it's easily accessible. A clogged PCV wouldn't normally send oil throughout the hood. This is more likely a valve cover gasket. Look for pools of oil surrounding the valve cover. If you find seepage there, you've located the source of your oil consumption.
Your looking foer the oil pressure sensor on the 2004 8.1L.
You will find it located directly behind the EGR valve threaded into the block just to the drivers side of the center bolt for the transmission to block connection.
