i have been recently having a problem with my 97 SOHC atx neon their seems to be a leak coming from the back of the engine , i thought it was the rear main, but i was told it might be the head gasket? and oil pressure switch? any suggestions? thanks!

 

Which side?
Driver's side possibilites.
Oil pressure sensor
Cam seal would leak from the head and down the trans..possible running onto the block
Rear main drips from behind the clutch..
Possibly head gasket

Passenger side
Head gasket more than likely
Camshaft seals behind timing cover

from wat i can see from th driver side, but watwould most likely cause it to leak so much? n only when its off, their is a puddle of oil after i move the vehicle!

 

i will put money on the oil sending unit. it is located right under the exhaust manifold and on the drivers side. when they go bad, they leak like the water pump does. easy 10 minute fix if you do not have the stock air box in. takes a sender unit socket to remove.

 

sorry to say but it is the head gasket, n i dont have that kinda money anyways to fix it, but thanks anyways for INFO, i wanted to to switch to a DOHC anyways, my buddys got one in his garage already ported n polished thanks!!!
