Hey guys. I noticed my oil pressure dropping rapidly on the way home the other day, i pulled aside and put some more oil into it and limped it home, only to figure out the piece pictured below had a hairline crack and was leaking oil. By the time i got back to look at the car (an hour or so later) all of the oil had leaked out, nothing was on the dipstick!! I reached up to touch this part and snap, it just broke off like that (and the threads are still in the housing)



My question is....what the hell is this piece? I tried finding something similar to it at autozone with no luck, they only carry the oil temp sending unit. Am i going to have to order this from mitsubishi exactly or what? and how am i going to get the rest of the threaded fitting out of the housing. I tried using an extractor but the broken off stud is just too tight, so for now i just tightened the extractor down and thats what is plugging the hole biggrin.gif I have figured out that the pressure sending unit has the same size thread so if i can manage to get the rest of the stud out of the housing i can at least plug the hole with the pressure sending unit, and besides i dont like driving around with my oil pressure guage on 0!!!

Thanks for the help if provided, and if any of you have that piece sitting around or in a parts car you might have i'd be glad to take it off your hands!! Thanks

yeah all im looking for is the T, right now to plug the whole ive got an EZ out stuck in there biggrin.gif As far as the two sensors go, im not getting an oil light strangely, but my oil pressure guage does not work sad.gif

I *should* be able to find an extraction set made for brass (this is what my brother told me) that will get it out. Even if I can get the rest of what is left out, i dont *need* the "t" bracket cuz the pressure sending unit has the same thread as the "t" and I can just screw it in and hook it back up, that way at least I'm getting an oil pressure reading

I think travis has this piece we are going to meet up sometime and verify this thoug
