Oil Pressure Sensor?

[orange57]

I'm doing the oil pan gasket on my 2000 Tahoe Limited. On the passenger side of the engine, just above the pan, there is a sensor that also appears to be leaking. Is that the Pressure switch. My googling found people replacing an oil pressure switch on the top of the engine. But, maybe my googling skills are off.

I'll try to snap a photo in the morning. Was getting late tonight and forgot to.

Thanks,

Matt

Your oil pressure sensor is located on the back side of your engine by the firewall on the drivers side.

Not sure what you might be seeing.

Photo of the sensor in question. Right by the oil dipstick.

Oil level sensor. So when you run 3-4 quarts low on oil you get a warning.

According to RA the 5.7 and the 5.3, in 2000, used this same sensor.

Your oil pan appears to be a steel black pan. My 2000 Tahoe and Yukon both have the Aluminum oil pans.
