Hi everyone...so Im having some leaks I'm trying to get fixed up.

1) I believe this is oil leaking from the front valve cover....am I correct? Fix: new gasket set from advance?



2) Is this the famous oil pressure switch that leaks oil?




3) I made the mistake of cleaning this up a little bit...but this is definately where it my power steering leak is. The problem is I dont know what I have to do to fix it



Thanks in advance!

Well for the power steering leak, you can maybe just buy the power steering fluid that stops leaks. It helped me out once before, so you could maybe give it a try.

Tried that...slowed it down for a little. Now its back with a vengeance. The oil leaks are my bigger concern

All I see is some grime, no wet oil anywhere on the front cover or down by the pressure switch. Clean it up and monitor it.

Agreed.

Clean it up a bit and get back to us

As others said, it isn't obvious (at least from the picture) that there is leak in your picture #1

Picture #2 - the sensor in your picture (right to the oil filter) is the CPS (REF). The pressure switch is on the lower left to the oil filter. It is not directly shown in the picture, but you have the wiring harness there...

Whoa pump the brakes!!!

I jus read FSM and it says to use ATF for power steering fluid. I been using power steering fluid and i have a stupid leak that i cant get rid of. Prolly cuz the expansion rates for the fluid are differnet. Im calling Nissan...

nissan says power steering fluid is fine.

#2) Probably from the half moon seal by the pully. Search is your best friend (you would of found my post). Unfortunately, I didn't get around to fixing my problem yet.

#3) Easy but expensive route is to buy a new hose...it should come with new seals. Cheap but harder route is to just buy the seals...dealer is your best friend.

Did you use power steering leak sealant?

Is that safe to use on our power steeting systems that use ATF?
