jmvandal Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I have a 2007 Subaru Outback w/ 150K, it uses about a quart every 3K miles; which isn't unreasonable, I would prefer none but I am a realist in this case, it uses oil, I check and fill as necessary......... However, recently, w/in the last 5-10K I have been noticing a burned oil smell coming from the engine and a little more oil consumption or loss in this case than normal. I have attached an image illustrating from left to right a pool of oil which seems to be coming from a 'sensor'; Can someone confirm what the component actually is? Originally thought it may be an oil pressure sensor, but the location seems a bit off from pictures I have located. Hopefully someone can set me straight. I am fairly handy and this seems like it would be easy to change. Any and all help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dj7291993 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 I believe that is the oil pressure switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
