Oil leakage

Well today I got the part, but in the manual I could find no reference to actually replacing the part. How do I do it?

Usually there is a hex on the back and they unscrew....pipe thread.

If that is what your part is...that's how you do it?

Umm...could you elaborate? Do you have to remove anything to get in there? Go in from the bottom or top?

On page 207 of the '85 FSM there is a pic of it. Looks like there are 2 of them...remove the oil filter...hope the AC isn't in the way?

Hmmm... I might be able to get it out fron the top. Thanks for the info, Takza and Mac, I'll check it out when I get a moment(so few these days...)

Well I tried to replace the pressure sensor today, and I could not get anything through the gap between the block and the alternator brackets. Wrenches, sockets, pliers, nothing. How do I get to it? Mac should know this...

Remove the alternator bracket first?

Could I refer you to my third to last post?

Have you tried taking the splash shield off?

Yeah, unfortunately it does no good in improving access...
