ok so my oil guage has never worked. i would like it to. what could be the reasons for it? any ideas? also yall do know how can i fix, like a how to on it. thanks for any help.

 

Its located sorta below the oil filter... just look to see if the wire is connected.. i know mine fell off all the time.

 

ok kind of on the same note ive noticed an oil leek right near the oil filter. i really cant tell wear its coming from. is it common that the oil filters leek.

 

your oil filter should not leak if its installed properly... its most likely leaking from the O-rings on the oil filter pedistal. Two 10mm bolts on the bottom side hold it on... just change the O rings next time you change your oil.

 

how much is one and where can i get it

 

If i remember correctly there are two o-rings.... just go to mazda and ask for them They cost like $2

 

The most common causes of the oil pressure gauge not working are the wire falling off the sensor or the connector getting gunked up.

 

so the wire should come right out of the sender? cause im having the same problem with my gauge

 

It clips onto the end of the sender.
