... the shop changing my oil tries to **** me?

Now my cars been a little leaky for a while, a drop a day at most, and a little damp around the camshaft seal. Nothing big.

After a recent oil change it leaves puddles. Theres an outline of the oil pan in the ground beneath my car right now. He tells me its my oil pressure sending unit. And on top of it he refuses to do anything about it, and tells me if I want it fixed it'll be $90 .

I finally managed to set aside some time tomorrow to look at it myself, is there anything other than the Oil pressure sending unit and possibly a crappy filter screw-in-job that I should look for?

well 4th generation maximas have been known to leak from the oil pressure sensor and the rear main seal, OPS is not hard to replace, go to http://www.motorvate.ca/mvp.php to get the instructions with pictures, but the rear main seal, well forget about that one.

Well the only thing the shop could tear up would be not tight enough oil filter or they hit the ops and now it leaking. Anything like the rear main seal and such they couldnt do damage to as they dont get into those areas.
