tidykart Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 My MUms 1.6 Escort is sprouting oil from this sensor thing which is located on the side of the engine bay. Could anyone tell me what this sensor is and how I maybe able to sort it out. Thanks for any suggestions, sos the pics aren't that could very poor light. P.S: The reason the senor looks clean is that I've cleaned it-surpirsingly put around that plug looking thing its normal got oil all over it. Just a pic to show what engine it is...

Stu Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Coolant temp sensor... I'd be very worried if oil was coming from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbosy Posted June 24, 2007 Share Posted June 24, 2007 Agree with Stu, Coolant temp sensor for the ECU................looks like oil is leaking from the rocker cover. It happened to me, get a new gasket 'n it'll be fine. Common problem! SY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidykart Posted June 24, 2007 Author Share Posted June 24, 2007 Must admit when my Dad says oil is coming from there I was very confused, and I did say to him I wouldn't mind its the head gasket gone. Thanks for the help lads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
