Hi,
My Camry 95, 4 cylinder developed oil leak problem recently. The oil
leak makes the driveway terrible. I find it comes from the driver
side
engine frontend, see two photos with below links. I have check my
repair manul, still not sure what is the cause. What is the wired
plug? Is it the problem.

I have changed many new parts in recent years, such as starter, new
tires, brakes, CV boots, brake line etc. I would keep the car if it is
not
expensive to repair the oil leak problem. BTW, I had done some work
on
my car, such as radiator, plug and oil change etc.


Thanks a lot.

It appears that the oil pressure switch is leaking. The switch is pretty
easy to replace. Unplug the wire connector from the switch, remove the
switch by unscrewing it from the engine, clean up the oil that leaked out,
install the new switch, and plug the wire back in.

As far as I know, the biggest cause of an oil leak is this:
