<<For the guy who found out his sending unit was bad, how was your oil
leaking
underneath? I can't see oil from above the engine anywhere, but underneath I
can see as far up as in between the bellhousing and oil pan looks wet. Infact

my oil drips from the bottom of my bellhousing. It doesn't do it all the
time, maybe once a week after a short drive and it's a small amount of oil. I

also found my level to be a quart low when I checked it last oil change. This

is on a 97 4x4 318. Anyone have an idea? Thanks for any info>>

Have you tried tightening your valve covers. I had a sending unit leak and
fixed it. It started leaking again, in exactly the same way but it turned
out to be a loose valve cover instead.
