The oil pressure sensor plays a critical role in monitoring your vehicle’s oil pressure and alerting you of low oil levels. However, if this sensor starts leaking, it can not only trigger false warnings but also cause oil loss and potential engine damage. At Car Garage Dubai, we offer fast, reliable, and expert car oil pressure sensor leak repair to fix leaks, restore correct sensor function, and protect your engine from costly repairs.
The oil pressure sensor, also known as the oil pressure sending unit, is responsible for monitoring oil pressure and sending this information to your dashboard. It is usually mounted on the engine block and is exposed to high pressure and heat. Leaks can occur due to:
Cracked or damaged sensor housing
Worn-out or degraded seals and threads
Over-tightening or incorrect installation
Long-term exposure to engine heat and oil pressure
A leaking oil pressure sensor can cause both oil leaks and inaccurate oil pressure readings, which could lead to engine running issues or failure if ignored.
Early detection of oil pressure sensor leaks can prevent serious engine problems. Look for the following signs:
Oil stains or wetness around the oil pressure sensor
Oil dripping on the ground near the engine
Sudden drops in oil pressure readings
Illuminated oil warning light on the dashboard
Engine running rough or knocking sounds due to low oil levels
