Subject:Re: 2.1L WBX: oil leak under big pulley

John,

Could it be leaking from the gray oil pressure sender?  I just had this
problem and also thought it could be from the seal.  Use an engine cleaner
to clean the residual oil from the engine, let it dry, run the engine for a
bit and look for the leak.  I found that oil collected left of the oil
pressure sender in a depression on the engine.

Good luck,

Harold
