Hello,

The oil pressure sending unit is located on the front part of the engine. It is just below the oil filter housing.
This sending unit is a common place for oil leaks on these vehicles.

In order to access that part, you will have to remove the intake tubing.

The sending unit can be removed using a right size socket.

Be sure to replace the washer when replacing the sending unit.

Please let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
