Mega oil leak

Recommended Posts

[ATTACH=CONFIG]54917[/ATTACH]

 

I own a 90' Corrado G60, standard. I have this situation where oil sprays up from where the end of the yellow wire ends,(directly above the oil filter mechanism) every time I accelerate. It doesnt leak from underneath the car, just shoots out everytime I press on the accelerator, by alot. So I would like to fix that problem, but need help getting the name of the part. To me it seems like the bolt part were the yellow wire is attached to is cracked. Any suggestions? Mahalo

looks like your sender is either loose or has lost its seal (maybe the sender itself is broken). Unscrew, and refit new one.

Yep,

 

Broken sender, I've had it before on a G60 where I was finding oil on top of my gearbox and I couldn't find where it was coming from as there was nowhere to leak, turns out the same sender as yours broke and was shooting oil up through the wire sleeve to the top of the gearbox.

 

The sender is about £14 now from VW! Bought one before Xmas. I would buy VW only when it comes to senders as pattern parts tend to fail prematurely.

 

Edit: yep, £14.32 from VW. part Number: 068919081D, I have a couple of new senders so I've dropped you a PM.
