    Hello. I with the problem of leaking engine oil in the Opel Corsa b 1.0 from the sensor, I'm not mistaken, the temperature. Namely, in the engine on the top left there is a sensor, I guess it is from the temperature, I get oil from it, when I start the car it leaks under pressure until it wraps the radiator and stripes. I saw when I pulled out the sensor that there is a rubber gasket in it but that it does not meet the seal, from under the copper washer it does not leak just with this sensor. What is the reason and how to fix it?

    This is the oil pressure sensor from what I found out and I am after opening the bonnet on the left side of the engine in front of the radiator, of course in my Opel Corsa 1.0, because it may be in other engines in other engines. When I leave work I will take a picture and send it.

    If the author of the topic has a Corsa B with an X10XE (1.0 Ecotec) engine, he means a reliable oil pressure sensor. It is mounted on the left side of the engine next to the timing cover or on its housing (I do not remember exactly). I suggest not playing in the exchange of seals but replace the entire sensor because it costs only 10-20 PLN and therefore inexpensive. Gaskets should be included with the sensor.

    Hello. Yes, gentlemen, it is exactly about this sensor about which I write leniwiec_pl. Opel Corsa 1.0 b Engine Oil Leak: Diagnosing and Fixing Temperature Sensor Issue
    This sensor is not uniform, I do not leak oil from under this copper washer at the engine but it leaks even though there is a gasket at the very beginning of the sensor. I know that this is not a big cost of the sensor and it should be replaced only if any of you know about any replacement and better sensor.

    Sensors are very cheap. Someone once told me to replace it every year, especially when we buy a cheaper equivalent.
    In Corsa C I've changed it probably three times in the last few years.

    Hello. I have to play miner. I am away and I have a problem with this sensor - it drips oil. I don't know if it can be bought and replaced right away? I have made up for the oil loss, but I have to go home 600km. Can you wrap it in a plastic bag and wrap it with fear? Thanks for all suggestions ... Auto is Astra h 1.4 petrol.

    I have already bought it three times in the same small automotive shop. The exchange is simple. All you need is a suitable spanner. First you need to disconnect the cable.

    Is it important to have it dedicated or are they universal?

    Heck, I look at the dealership, the price is over PLN 135 ... edit - I called the Dealership in Krakow and it is like oil pressure and PLN 48. How to check if it is an improved sensor?

    The one to Corsa that I bought cost very little. The fact that the salesperson said it was some kind of equivalent and is therefore cheap. He said that it is even worthwhile to change it once a year for the price. Just look at the well-known auction site (for orientation) by entering "Corsa oil pressure sensor" (in my case).

    If you don't buy it, it will last a year or two (it leaks from a pin inside).

    I bought at ASO for almost 5 smokes ... I hope it will last a long time. I have been driving the Asterka for over 5 years and I exchange it for the first time. Thanks for your help.

    Hi,

    Oil dripping from what I believe is the coolant temperature sensor (front of the engine - top left)

    My Corsa details: I believe it is a CORSA-C Hatchback
    Date of registration: 2005
    Variant: AG11
    D.3 Model: CORSA LIFE TWINPORT
    D.5 Body Type: 3 DOOR HATCHBACK
    PETROL
    998 CC

    Looking on eBay, are there variations / models of sensor? ..or did VAUXHALL stick to one type for CORSA's?

    Here is a photo. The sensors I have seen on eBay appear to look shorter.
    The sensor on my CORSA looks longer, could be incorrect part on car?
    The wire situation looks knackered.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around an oil leak issue in the Opel Corsa B 1.0, specifically from the oil pressure sensor located on the left side of the engine. Users suggest that the sensor should be replaced rather than attempting to fix the gasket, as the cost of a new sensor is relatively low (10-20 PLN). The original poster confirms the leak is from the sensor despite having a gasket. Recommendations include purchasing a new sensor, with advice to consider quality and potential yearly replacements for cheaper equivalents. There is also mention of the Corsa C model and a user discussing a coolant temperature sensor, indicating some confusion about the specific sensor type. Overall, the consensus is to replace the faulty sensor to resolve the oil leak issue.
