I took your picture and Marked the area. It is above and behind the Oil filter. After washing the engine down and runnning for a while this is where the oil shows up. Now I realize you cant attach files?.... Any way it shows up in the gasket seam at the rear of the Passenger side of the engine, say the last 6 inches. This is about 4in higher than the oil filter. I did replace the oil sender about a year ago. Mabe Ill get some DYE and a UV light to be sure before I tare this thing apart... Thanks for the imput Mike |
