oil leak at temp sensor
thanks for reading.
i have a 91 t2 swap done on my 88 vert. for the first 25 miles driven on the fresh motor no problems at all.... then the next morning i took it out for a spin and only drove about 2 miles. noticed a trail of oil following my car when i parked it. when i stoped it had leaked about a quart of oil from the temp sensor. what would cause such a bad leak???? it drips at idle but squirts at boost. i replaced the sensor and it still leaks, not as bad but nontheless it still leaks. PLEASE HELP WITH SOME SOLUTIONS..... THE GUY WHO BUILT MY MOTOR WONT HELP ME OUT!

first i have ever seen anything like this.
but my first guess is: do you have the crankcase vented at all? i have seen so many dumbasses cap off the vents that it makes my head hurt.. the crankcase has to breathe otherwise it will start pushing things off of your engine in order to vent pressure.
if that is not an issue then are you absolutely sure it's not just the drain plug? the oil level sender sits right above it and could give that impression.
