I have a leak at the oil level sensor so I replaced the o ring. That didn't stop the leak. Does the sensor itself sometimes leak? It seems to be working OK.

after getting burned a few times by trying to replace only the o-ring, I have started changing the sensor and the o-ring together. Haven't had a problem with that yet. So yes, apparently the sensor does leak. Just make sure to clean the area around the sensor real well inside and out to make sure there isn't another leak in the area.
