MY IMPALA 2007 LT IS LEAKING OIL GASKET WAS REPLACED TWO MONTHS BACK IT HAD BEEN FINE BUT JUST YESTERDAY OIL PRESSURE LOW SENSOR CAME ON & NOW I NOTICE IT'S HAVING A SLOW WATER DRIP PROBLEM AS WELL ..COULD IT BE WATER PUMP??
07 Impala 3.5 Oil pressure sensor failure. sensor is located above the oil filter a long extension and a 27mm socket will get it changed out in 10 minutes. New sensor was 30 bucks
Yes or a small bypass hose. You may be able to get a loan of a tester at autozone, oreilys, or advance autoparts. You want a radiator pressure tester. Do not exceed the cap rated pressure. When the engine is warm, you can add pressure and look for water seepage.
There are also chemicals to add to detect leaks if the first method is unsuccessful.
SOURCE: oil in radiator
There is really only one thing that causes this, that is a leaking cylinder head gasket(s).
SOURCE: Low Oil pressure light in idle at stop
Depending on the amount of miles, maintenance records, or how hard the car has been driven either by a previous owner, or by yourself. The engine's main crankshaft bearings or the connecting-rod bearings could be excessively worn.
Also, it could very well be a wiring problem to the sensor and/or computer causing the problem.
SOURCE: seem to be losing oil in coolant of 2003 impala 3.4
it sounds like the start of a leakey head gasket a head gasket stop water , oil and compression from mixing together If the car has been hot in the past i would change the head gakets and flush radiator professaly before you end up with a cracked head
SOURCE: Reset my engine oil low in 2007 chevy impala
you sould be able to reset that from the dash ,these options beside the dash go to the end and when you get to oil and % press on the checkmark and that would do the trick.
