success on installing the oil pressure sensor!
thanks for the pics from c 5 tech on how to saw through the cowl to get at the oil pressure sensor. It was a little difficult getting of the wire cap on the sensor off and getting a deep socket in there but it got done and the new sensor works fine. While I had the black trim at the base of the windshield off, Me and my next door neighbor took another swipe at trying to find the leak that is getting into the drivers side. We took a light and examined the fiberglass work near the drivers side wiper and above the three black udders. We also looked behind the udders back near the fire wall under the windshield. We found what appeared to be several cracks in the fiberglass right above the place where the leak is coming into the car. Im not sure that was the entire solution but I filled these suspect cracks with silicone. We will see when the weather warms up and I pour some water over these areas.. Thanks for those of you who took the time to advise me!! Bruce

Congrats glad you got it done...atta boy. Now you have the satisfaction of doing it yourself and the peace of mind that your oil pressure is correct.

Nice that you got it done and if there is a next time the job will be easier with the access port in the cowl area.
