Oil Leak from Vacuum Pump
Our 1996 l400 recently sprang a leak from what i think is the vacuum pump (passenger side of the engine compartment on the front of the motor with a line running to the brake booster). It appears that the top piece is broken off? Does anybody have any insight? What is the black plastic part that looks broken? Is the pump rebuild-able with some o rings?
Thanks
Thanks

I'm pretty sure that's your oil pressure sender. Common problem, easy fix. CVI, RJD, Amazing Auto, Rising Sun, Coombs Country Auto will all have the part. About $20 if I remember correctly. I carry a spare with me just in case.sfd_656 wrote:Our 1996 l400 recently sprang a leak from what i think is the vacuum pump (passenger side of the engine compartment on the front of the motor with a line running to the brake booster).

Thank you, does the fix just involve removing the old sender and threading in the new one and reattaching the wire? What causes them to break? I have the new part on the way.

That's it. Believe it's a 22mm deep socket or a small adjustable wrench to remove the old one. They're just a weak point in the system. Usually the wire connection doesn't bust off, it just leaks from the top. Maybe yours was bumped from some recent work to cause the wire connection to bust off? There's a through bolt underneath that attaches to the banjo. If this comes out with the oil sender be careful not to lose the 2 copper washers.sfd_656 wrote:Thank you, does the fix just involve removing the old sender and threading in the new one and reattaching the wire?

Parts just arrived and getting dark outside will have to wait until friday. Old sensor needs a 1 1/8" deep socket (will have to borrow one, new one from mardy fits in a 24mm deep socket

No, it will not cause the van to shudder or have performance issues. That is unless you lose all your oil before noticing!P.Gaudreault wrote:I have the same oïl leak with my 1998.

The leak gets worse quickly, order parts and repair asap, check/add oil every time you drive the vehicle until repaired.P.Gaudreault wrote:I have the same oïl leak with my 1998.

The plug on mine also sits loose, but I don't think it's a problem. As long as it's doing it's job. If you don't see the oil light come on when you start the van then perhaps you do need a new connector.Delica_Acadie wrote:poochike wrote:I'm pretty sure that's your oil pressure sender.
