I have oil leaking from my oil pressure sensor of my 1998 Camaro, does anyone have a solution or a "quick fix" for this problem. The entire fix would be nice to.

YOur sensor might not be bad. First I would get some teflon tape, take the sensor out and clean the threads off. You should wipe out the hole on the block as well but be careful not to get ANYTHING in the hole. You might want to spray some carb clean around the senor first and wipe off any goop. Wrap the tape around the sensor a couple of times and screw it back in. Dont screw too hard, you dont want to muck up the threads. If it is still leaking the senor itself might be craked or the threads are mucked up. Good luck hope this helps.

First wipe it clean so you can see were it is leaking, if its leaking were it's screwed in the block, remove it with a socket and rap Teflon tape around the threads and screw back in. If it's leaking were the metal and plastic meats, it will have to be replaced.

This was one of the most common repairs I performed years ago. Buy the special socket and a new sensor. Unscrew the old one, screw the new one in and you are done.

Yes, unplug old sensor, unscrew old sensor, get new sensor, screw in new sensor, plug wire into new sensor.

I would say use thread tape first before anything else.
