Oil Leak help

SteppinRazor · Apr 17, 2022

Hi all. I have an oil leak I can't find the source of.
So far I have replaced:
VTec solenoid gaskets
Distributor o-ring
Camshaft seals
Oil cooler O-ring
Valve cover gasket
and have pulled the oil pressure sender and sealed the threads

I have oil dripping onto the flex pipe of the exhaust. I can see the oil dropping off the oil pressure sender cover. So I pulled it, sealed it and put it back in. No dice. Replaced the oil cooler O-ring because it's right above it. No dice. Above that are the valve cover gasket/distro/vtec solenoid. No dice. Where else can it be coming from? I thought maybe rear main seal, but it looks to be too far to the right and too low to be dripping from the oil pressure sender. I'm at a loss, any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks

Clean everything thoroughly, this will enable you to physically see where the leak is.

P.s. The cam cap next to the dizzy is a good culprit....

Thanks guys. I've cleaned it all, still can't see a definitive source, other than I see it dripping off the oil pressure sender. Tried ordering a new oil pressure sender, but they are on back order (waited 11 days before I called and was informed that). It's all clean up top and all seals/gaskets/o-rings replaced topside.

#31 on this is the oil pressure sender. Does anyone know what #32 is?
