Well I have had to replace my oil pressure sensor about 6 times already, it seems like I replace it ever 6 months or so, it has been leaking out of the electrical end of the sensor but never leaks out of the threaded end that goes into the block, it almost caused me to blow up my motor that last time it happened, it is just becoming a huge hassle there has to be some defect in the part, because it doesn't matter which parts store I go too they all end up leaking.

My 1998 dodage Stratus leaks oil to the tune of at least 1 qt every other day. I have to keep a case of oil in my trunk to keep up with the leak. And then it still barely registers on the dip stick. I have a large oil stain in the grass of my driveway. I was told the leak was due to a faulty head gasket. It hasn't blown (yet) but it is only a matter of time before the rest of the car falls to pieces. I emailed a complaint to DaimlerChrysler and I got a "we are sorry for your dissatisfaction". that was it. I have read all of these complaints and I was just wondering where the responses to them are" has anyone gotten anywhere with this issue"

I eventually put a quart of oil in the engine.then I took my car to have it checked out and found out that I had a cracked head gasket.I was very angry when I had found that out especially with only 53,465 miles on the car!!!!!
