OK cleaned up the oil running down the filter adapter and let engine run, low and behold coming from oil sender, tightened it cleaned and checked later still leaking so before I buy a sender is there a missing gasket or something? It is leaking between the sender and engine so like from the threads

 

This peaks my interest bc mine leaks there too. Let me know what you find.

 

Yes there is a gasket. Are you sure it's not leaking from the top half of the sender and running along the bottom of the nut? Try some Teflon thread tape. A decent new sender is commonly available for under ten bucks.

 

I have seen before where these leak where plastic and metal meet, this is definitely not that, I got a 1/4 + turn out of it like there was supposed to be an boring or gasket now gone? Rover is wierd

 

O-ring on serpentine belt engines, washer on v-belt engines. If I recall correctly.

 

Aha I will try that

 

Oil sender bad, new on the way, there is a tiny hole looks like it is supposed to be there, oil leaks from it guess the diaphragm inside is bad

 

Grabbed a used one from d2 same leak same spot little hole, ordered a different style for the replacement was like $12 on amazon prime

 

Looks like no more oil sender leak, looks like something leaking just above the filter in the front and running down the filter, probly have to remove filter to see it

The oil sender I used is the beck arnley , looks different from original but works fine, it came with a washer I swapped it for a green o ring as mine had a taper on the engine for the o ring

 

Oil sender is not leaking, removed filter I cannot see where it is leaking , keep cleaning off with brake clean and comes back after driving all I can see is it comes from above the filter, runs onto filter and drips

The oil line fitting is not leaking
