Oil Leak on EJ22 engine

Post by MikeC5 »

My 95 Legacy wagon with 2.2 L and manual tranny has developed an oil leak on the top of the engine just below the power steering reservoir (passenger side front). I'm sure it isn't PS fluid (no red tint) but it isn't obvious where the oil is coming from. I did a search here and didn't find anything specific.

Probably one of the PCV pipes.

Thats where mine turned out to be leaking from

I just replaced my oil pressure sending unit, which was pissing all over my clean motor from the top. $13 part.

The PCV pipes are further aft and appear clean. Is the OP sending unit mounted near the power steering reservoir? I didn't notice it...
