How can you fix an oil leak of oil pressure sending unit electric connection in a 1993 Jeep Cherokee 4.0?

If the oil sending unit is leaking oil by the inside of the component, then I don't know of any way to fix that other than removal and replace with another one. If it is leaking by the threads, then you can try teflon tape to seal that. Also make sure it is leaking from the sending unit and not leaking down from the valve cover.

Probably you need to replace the oil pressure sending unit. It is located on the engine down close to the oil pan. If the sending unit is leaking oil then replace it by all means. Doubtful that the oil pump is defective.

Why does your oil light keep coming on your peugeot 207?

Low oil pressure, or the oil pressure sending unit is defective. If the oil level is full, then the oil pump is weak or the sending unit is bad. Replace the oil pressure sending unit and see if that solves the problem. If not, seek professional help. Do not continue to drive the car in this condition.


What is leaking on top of your 1993 silverado under neath disturber cap?

There is a heater hose that goes in the left rear back side of the intake manifold that hooks to a quick disconnect fitting, It is common for the fitting to leak antifreeze. If it is oil that is leaking, then there is a oil sending unit to the right of the distributor that could be leaking oil. There is a long rubber gasket that seals the back of the intake manifold to keep it from leaking oil also. That's all that could be leaking back there. GOOD LUCK.
