Oil in valley pan

It still has been leaving a couple drops after driving but I think it's just all the residual oil left everywhere it's got like a 1 inch thick coating of oil/road grime in some spots on the back side, should be interesting to clean here soon and I can actually see my glow plug silinoid now it's been under the ats turbo for years now

Still continuing to leak oil how ever not nearly as bad as before, I thought I got most of my valley pan grommet out of inside valley pan drain area(inside) I thought it clogged up whatever is inside there cause I got a couple pieces of old grommet out it was crumbly and broke when removing it/ missing some I think. New grommet and turbo system is in. however it Is still leaking somewhere on top I poked extra holes into pan drain inside valley pan as well now. Can the oil pressure sensor leak? It was also coated in oil as everything behind the 088 was and kinda and is still it's a real mess. I'm scared to pressure wash it again cause it leaked really bad after I did last time and I'm not sure as to why? I was careful not to be too close to anything and it was a coin carwash machine nothing extreme. If not the pressure sensor then I would think the only thing left to leak is valley pan? It no longer fills with oil I'm just leaving drips every where and motor is still soaked in oil. I don't mind seeping leaks but this is excessive to where I need to fix it.

did you replace the VP? it could be leaking from the back corner. could you post some pictures?

Valley pan I didn't replace yet it was kinda last thing wanting to do because it didn't seem
As likely. I'm thinking the oil pressure sensor looks like it maybe leaking from the top of it sorta. I'll be outside to take some pics of if it soon but it's one big oily mess now so it's hard to distinguish anything

So valley pan is defiantly leaking I have oil puddling up top between intake manifold connection points, I guess is time to take everything off the top end! lol maybe I'll wait it out and see if I can get some lifters and push rods just so they are fresh while I'm in there and maybe it will fix the random ticking that seems to have disappeared again lol

I have several valley pans, love to make you a deal on one.

new ones?

yes

Back on this topic again oil leaking out of my engine is annoying now lol anyway sealed my ip gear housing oil leaks have slowed but now stopped, next should be my oil pressure sending unit? Only ten dollars why not ? Turbo system is all new now and pan grommet is new as well. Valve cover gaskets new. What else can leak on top of motor? Valley pan is gonna be last becuse that is a longer task. Can my CD-R not functioning properly cause excess leKing? Sometimes it seems like it will stop leaking randomly. Is routing important for them and size of tubing by chance? I don't mind much if my engine seeps some oil and drops here and there but it's leaks a small puddle anywhere I park. Only seems to leak after running and while running, just sitting and not running it doesn't leak

When you replace the oil pressure sending unit make sure you do it with the motor cold and be VERY gentle. That stupid piece is super crack sensitive. Also, when you buy the new switch you can actually mod the stock gauge to use an actual sensor and be an actual gauge not an idiot gauge. Back to the point though, take the stupid thread sealant the oil pressure switch comes pre-applied with. Its crap.

if the CDR isn't working properly then it could cause more pressure to build in the crank case and cause leaks.

Where do you have it routed?

From valve cover using 3/4 inch heater hose into intake before turbo is where CD-R is. So the oil pressure sending unit could be my larger leak? I never imagined my valley pan gasket leaking this much

3/4" hose is not big enough, should be 1" hose.

Do you think this is the cause of the oil in the valley pan?
