Oil in Bilge

[danielbeast]

I am trying to track down an oil leak. The odd thing is, the oil leak doesn't show up until after the boat has been sitting, out of the water on the trailer. The engine is very clean. The only place I found oil dripping off of is the part picture. The rubber elbow off of the silver piece had oil dripping from it. To the right of it I believe is the oil pressure sensor. The engine is a 383 MAG MPI. Any idea what it is?

Silver bell is the oil pressure sending unit and they can spring leaks and keep working. Easy to replace pull the rubber covered connector off it looks like a push on type and unscrew from the tee.There will be a place for a wrench above the threads.

Replace both of them, ask my how I know?

One is for the gauge on the dash and I would say the other is for the fuel pump.

Thanks for the help, I will replace them right away.

From the looks of your engine yes 9/16 open wrench should do it. Enjoy easy fix.
