Hello,
My 2009 Mustang Shelby GT500 is leaking a little oil.

I've heard several times that it could be a sensor on the rear cylinder.

I was able to feel something similar to a sensor with my hand, and my fingers were covered in oil afterward.

Does anyone know what kind of sensor it is, and has anyone ever sealed it themselves?

I hope to get an answer.

Sincerely,
Dirk
 
Hello everyone.

Maybe this will help someone.

Ford wants to remove the engine to seal these two oil leaks on the left and right cylinders, which is completely unnecessary.

In the video above, the X or H pipe is removed and repaired from below with a lot of effort.

I did both cylinders today; the plugs were both loose, but I was able to find them by feel.

I managed to get them out using Nr: 7 Allen wrench and a small 1/4" ratchet.

I did everything from above and didn't even need to lift the car; it's very tight, but it works. First, attach the pit with the Allen key, then the ratchet.
