What should I do if my oil pressure sensor is leaking?
You should really jack up your driver side, take the wheel off, wipe off the top of your OFH, and run your finger nail across the top (from driver to passenger side) to feel if it cracked before you take on this project.. and you also need to buy a OFH gasket from mitsubishi (dealer only part) they are $2.50.

Can you use thread tape on oil pressure sensors?
You can’t use thread tape, the sensors ground via the OFH. I had an issue with my sender leaking oil too, I got it as tight as I was comfortable with and squeezed a good size layer of RTV over the seams. Seems to have held pretty well for me. Could be too tight in which case you cracked the OFH, cheers. Click to expand…

Yes, all 2g’s have the same OFH. Unless it happened to be 6bolt swapped. Tape will not squeeze out like liquid sealant though. If you leave a few threads uncovered you will be fine normally. If you know what your doing either way will work.

How does the oil pressure sensor work in a car?
The oil pressure sensor is hooked directly to the oil pressure gauge on your instrument cluster. When lower than normal oil pressure is detected, the pressure sensor will make the gauge in the car reflect this change. An Oil Pressure Warning Light will often accompany oil pressure sensor faults.
