Spring Break Maintenance.
So spring break is a couple weeks away and i finally got a couple days with out both work and school so its time to do maintenance on the old girl. I gotta change the oil, change all the brake parts ( shoes pads drums and rotors), put the gun rack in, clean the rear end sensor and find my oil leak. so i have a couple questions. what is the name of the rear end sensor and what should i clean it with? and where can i get a new one from? and where do the usual oil leaks come from? im goin to clean the total undercarrage of the engine to find it. thanks blake

good luck on the oil leaks. most common would be the turbo pedastool at the ebp valve

The pedestal is under the turbo. It is the turbo pedestal. The turbo mounts to it. There are two o-rings between the two. Be sure that is it before you try to remove the turbo. That can be a pain.
