Philliphalljr Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 Good morning. Had a post on here about having a valve cover oil leak. Ended up taking it to a shop and having that done. I got back in town, went and picked up the Edge and it seemed fine. We took it on a trip, 4 hours each way, got home, it had a smell, checked the oil and it was 4 quarts low. Light never came on. So I am thinking now the oil sensor is bad, but also this morning I noticed an oil film all over the tail gate. I am at a loss as to what would cause this. Anyone else seen anything similar? Seems like everything I see doing a search online is for the 6 cyl… thanks everyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akirby Posted October 31, 2022 Report Share Posted October 31, 2022 The oil on the tailgate is from the oil leaking out while driving. The sensor does not measure oil level only oil pressure so it may or may not be bad. My guess is they used the wrong gaskets or I stalled them incorrectly or left something loose allowing the oil to leak out rapidly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philliphalljr Posted November 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2022 I am hoping the same. I got up under it, there is oil all over the undercarriage. I noticed a run where it was dripping from the top somewhere but could not trace it to the source. I did spray some engine cleaner hoping that would help find it but no luck. So tomorrow I am going to run to the shop that did the gasket and have them go over it.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
