Cheapest repair is sometimes the solution

[letank]

A few days ago, I spotted a neighbor with the hood up... drove by on my way to gas up for a friends motorcycle repair project and shouted "move the car, the street cleaner is coming", it is SF at its best, every 2 weeks we have to move our junkers for the street cleaner ... or the wallet cleaner to avoid an $80 fine... 2 min back, the owner "she" is still checking... so my friend and I stop... the car is pissing oil and it is not a Jeep, but a corolla with 200Kmiles...I come back with 2 quarts... it was 2 quarts low, but upon restart, it is still pissing oil... Me: seems like a crankshaft seal... I call the closest mechanic...the mechanic said to bring it over "no charge for diagnostic" thinking of front crankshaft seal... but it was the oil pressure sender. There was some much caked oil that it was hard to see anything... especially with no ground clearance, even straddling the curb.
Another junker saved from the junkyard.

Noice! I had that on the Cherokee when I first got it. Straight stream of oil marking her territory out of the pressure sender. Rusted hole in the sender.
