help....another problem
well i guess it's like they say...you know youve got the problem fixed when another one starts....ugh...anways...ran up to the store to come home and find a small puddle of oil where my truck was sitting. upon inspecting under the hood, noticed the oil leak was coming from the icp sensor.the dip**** at the dealership must've never fully tightened it,could move by hand. now my question is is it normal for oil to leak from there if the sensor is loose? or do i have another problem starting? grabbed a wrench and tightened. truck seems to run alright.

Yes, it is very normal for it to leak there if loose.
Well, that should have fixed it! If it was as loose as that, then keep an eye on it. Just be thankful it isn't an early build motor! That would have stunk!

yeah i just thought about it...makes sense to leak cause it plugs into the high pressure rail. hopefully i didn't over tighten. turned till snug w/fingers then went 1/4 turn w/ wrench. thanks guys...i panicked..seems like one thing after another lately..lol
