Hi all hope your all well!
could anyone tell me what sensor or connection is above the spark plugs. It leaks oil as it’s broken. Mines a RHD 92 fd. As you look it’s lower but near oil filler. Any help is always appreciated.

thanks
Jamie

 

A picture would help.
The knock sensors are immediately above the plugs. Above them and running horizontally is a major oil line. Rearward of the plugs, and just below the oil filter, is a major oil line that comes from the left oil cooler, and below that is the oil pressure sensor -- it is a black cylinder with a single wire running off of it.

 

Yes a pic would be good sorry it’s in the garage I’ll try get one tomorrow but I think your on the money with the knock sensor. I’ll look it up. Thanks very much

knock sensors dont leak oil so it cant be that

 

It's probably his oil pressure sending unit if its below the oil filter.
A picture would help.

 

The oil filter pedestal (https://www.atkinsrotary.com/store/9...1-14-310A.html) has two o-rings (p/n 99541-01601) on its underside that may be susceptible to leaking. A photo would be helpful.

 

Yup, the 2 o-rings for the filter pedestal is a very likely possibility.

 

Oil pressure sensor:

 

sometimes the goop its potted with becomes liquid, and it looks like a leak

 

Hi all thanks for input, it’s not the oil pressure sensor that’s closer to the rear of the block. This is directly above a spark plug at the front. I’ll get some pics once she’s back out of the garage.
kind regards
Jamie

 

That will probably be the goo leaking from the knock sensor. ALL FD's do this. It's just a nuisance.

The knock sensor is screwed directly into the rotor housing just above the spark plugs.

Daleclark your reading my mind thanks mate

 

Most likely the oil pressure sender/sensor.
