Hi

Does anyone know where to find the engine oil level sensor?
I have recently changed oil and my car is showing 'check engine oil level' and 'engine oil level incorrect'.
I put 4,25l in as it is stated in the book, so I am clueless.
Thanks

Have you checked the level using the dipstick?
The warnings that you are seeing are probably because the oil level is too high.

Item 15 should be the engine oil level and temperature sensor which is at the back of the engine. But as Mike says - always check using dipstick in level ground.

It is fairly common for them to leak a little around the edges of the engine top cover, but you will need to do your own investigation.

Andnyes, it is leaking around the edges. Is this top cover leak serious or I can leave it as it is?
