I have a small oil leak that occurred after I had the oil changed... I took it back and am told that the leak is probably at the gasket beyond the oil filter... I have a 2006 Chevrolet Equinox. I nee

I am told and see on the diagram I have that the positioning is the oil filter, then the oil filter adjuster... but I don't see where there is a gasket or O-Ring going into the block... I need to know exactly so that if I take the Oil filter adjuster off, I have the correct part to replace.

Hmm with 150,000 miles i really doubt anything
It could be just a coincidence.

They could have possibly left something in the oil pan that caused the pick up tube to become blocked somewhat.

sometimes you can get a little water trapped. you can try removing the sending unit and cleaning it. you will probably have to replace the unit. the pressure is acceptable though as long as youre not pourong oil out through the seals.

SOURCE: 2000 go tracker bad oil

It has to be an oil pressure sending unit. There are two of them on that SUV but they are in different places depending on your engine cord. If you go to Advance Auto parts or O'Riley, they will tell you exactly where to look.

SOURCE: there was a call back

depends on if you got the extended package and what your dealer offered at the time of purchase, But I would certainly check with the dealer, about that leak, but I doubt the power steering hose problem added to that

Hi, I have a 2004 Nissan Sentra 1.8, a few weeks ago I noticed oil leaking from the passenger side of the engine.

Sounds more like a valve cover gasket if it leaks on one side. If the oil leaks down the back look at the intake gasket.

My 2007 ACURA RL - after 2k miles the check oil light came on, but there is no evidence of visual leaks, or smoke out of tail pipes. where is the oil going to? how to fix?

I suppose if you had gone to the trouble of reading your owner's manual, instead of asking someone else to do it for you, you would discover that is an oil change reminder. Now your next question could also be answered by reading the manual. Beyond that, the car is still under warranty so you could contact a dealer with these questions.

Dip stick showing white film. Oil change person

Water in motor oil causes that white foam, it is common. A small amount will not hurt the vehicle very much, and is normal for winter, in places with a high humidity.

Took my 2002 honda accord in for oil change was told I could possibly have an oil leak as oil was low. What could cause this?

Worn gasket seal around pan, worn or loose oil plug, pin hole in pan, someone forgot to put back the oil cap are some suggestions that come to mind.

Think I need oil pan gasket

It's probably the front crank seal or the cam seal. Kinda big job for a novice. The car only has one oil pan. The back one she refered to is for the transmission,if it's automatic. Never saw a oil pan gasket leak on a nissan '96 & up.
