Default oil leakage and light prob

first off my car is leakin oil, it isnt a bad leak atleast the dip stick doesnt show it needs more oil but its just enough to make it smoke....its comin from the driver side and it drips down onto the lower end of the header (closer to the y pipe connection than the engine connection) . its kinda hard to pin point a spot of trouble due to oil on more than one spot, im gonna clean the suspected area and see if i can find the trouble but does anybody have any hot spots for leaks they know off in this area? its not my valve cover gaskets, i replaced those less than a month ago. i hope it isnt anyways cause poop i just fixed it

also my passenger side low beam head light doesnt come on unless ive got my highs on, then it kicks on along w/ the high beam headlight like its supposed to....i just put fog lights on and was messing around that area since my battery is close to it so i assumed it was a loose connection but ive wiggled and checked the connections and still no go. any ideas?

any help is appreciated guys....and gals

Default RE: oil leakage and light prob

looked at my car yesterday...the oil seems to be coming from some where near the oil filter.....a screw in sensor close to the oil filter was loose so i tightened it but oil is still drippin down onto the pipes from somewhere else near it. any gaskets or screw in things around this area i dont know about?

as far as my headlights go, my low beam bulb just blew....i wanted to get new headlights w/ screw in bulbs so i could put halogens in anyways....now i have a reason

found and fixed my oil leak. turns out the oil pressure sensor was shootin the oil out of the seam, not the thread but the seam on the sensor. bought a new one for $3 and its all better

that happened to anybody else before? it seems like a pretty odd problem to me
