What is the sensor coming out of the left rear side of oil filter housing
« on: September 18, 2009, 04:17:05 pm »
My 87 suburban (5.7)has developed an oil leak which drips onto the leftside exhaust down tube. The sensor has wires going into it from the top and it has a metal cone protecting it? I found the oil pressure sensor on the back top of the motor so what the heck is this other sensor? I haven't been able to find it anywhere in the manual which isn't a surprise!

It is the oil pressure switch.
