Thanks everyone for the help. The bolt size must be larger than 22mm because that's the largest wrench I have and it still won't fit.

Here's a pic of what I imagine you're looking at, from the driver's side looking straight up near the back of the car, a few inches above the oil pan: http://www.johnspangler.com/DMC/oillight1.jpg That's the oil pressure sensor, all right. I enjoy the irony of the part that's supposed to let you know of a low pressure situation being the source of a leak. I got a new one which I'm looking forward to putting in while doing my first oil change, it was less than $20 with a new seal too. part #'s 102462 SENSOR,OIL PRESSURE 102461 SEALING WASHER I'm hoping it's as easy as it looks to replace. -John #5572 To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
