Default Smokkinn camaro

Hey whats up every1_ new-b on the car.
Anyways i drive a 95 Camaro v6_3.4L =/ got the car over a few z-28s
due to the fact i roadtrip from nv to ca at least once or twice every
other week. big difference on gas 4 long trips.

Well to cut to the chase. i was coming home from work yesterday
and i c smoke coming out of my hood right before i got home. pop
my hood and notice that there is some kind of plug or line connected to
the base of the oil filter_ and it was leaking oil from that plug and falling
on my down pipes. causing it to burn and making all the smoke. So im
getting ready to go outside and c if i can tackle this..

I was just wondering if this has happened to anybody?? thinking maybe a riped seal or something??

id apreciate any feedback.. Thank you

that is your oil pressure sensor. if you slide the protective boot back enough you can unclip the sensor and screw it out. how many miles does your camaro have? could be time to replace. what does your oil pressure read on the dash when the car us running. it should not be leaking even if the sensor went bad.

3 camaros, 3 funky pressure guages, not one of them leaked.

Will be a novice fix though.
