When I first bought it in Minnesota the guy told me it had a oil leak in the oil pan gasket. I ended up driving it down to Florida. When I reached Florida I went to get the oil changed and they took me down and showed me that it was leaking pretty bad. Not bad enogh to the point you cound'nt drive it,but it needs to get fixed. They said it was the oil sencor? But the thing is I need to drive it back up to Minnesota. I'm worried about the trip back I don't want to be on the side of the road. Should I just buy a box of oil and add when needed. How hard is it to fix an oil sencor if thats the problem?

Hi there,

if it is the oil pressure sensor, it will not be a big job at all,
If concerned at any cost, just ask for an estimate first, It will be cheaper, less messy and better for you in the long run to get it replaced.
