I have a 99 F150 with a 5.4l.. i was told by the dealer that it was leaking from the oil pressure sending unit, which is located to the direct right of the oil filter.. well that seems like a reasonable place for it to be leaking, and since it is indeed leaking somehow, i figured i might want to check it out.... dealer quoted me $300 lol, so i went to carquest and got the part for $9. i do have one major concern though-
1. if i take out the old unit, will oil flow out everywhere? lol.. its not sitting upright in the block, its actually more upside down. i will post a picture so everyone can get a better idea... what i really dont know is if oil stays in the line going to the filter, even with the engine cold and off. i would appreciate any help, i will post a picture shortly
