1987 T&C oil leaks

[Redlocks]

For the past several months my 1987 T & C wagon has been leaking oil rapidly. Today after putting a quart in the engine, I started the engine to see if I could monitor any dripping.

Oil seemed to drip steadily from a device that is screwed into the bottom 1/2 of the engine with a wire attached at the end. I was told by a friend who I decsribed the part for that it was probably my oil sensor.

Any thoughts or suggestions?

Thanks.

Your friend is almost certainly right. Replacement is easy and inexpensive, and you can do it yourself with simple tools (i.e. a wrench). Get thee to the parts store! (And by all means, don't let it run dry!)
