Found another leak under dash?
 
Anybody know where a "oil type leak" would be coming from underneath my dash? The car has 422 miles and this is probably the 6th leak. I was wondering if it is one of the gauges or if one of them is prone to leak here and there. I haven't had a chance to peak under the dash yet because I took the car to work. Whats wierd is the leak is coming from the center of the dash-no where near the oil pressure gauge. Just wondering if anyone could set my mind at ease while I stress here at work. thanks

Mike

Is your oil pressure gauge electronic? If not, I would consider it a probable source. It could leak and run down various hoses and wires. My oil pressure gauge fitting was leaking....and the oil would run down the hose towards the center of the dash and leak on the tranny tunnel.

I wouldn't think your speedo would be leaking as they usually put grease in the reverse drive adapters.

Thanks Blykins for the reply,
Now that you mention it I have a heater in the car and the oil is leaking from the center of the heater hose. I have the smith gauges and I wasn't sure if the speedo is the cause?

Check the speedo cable where it goes into the speedometer. Mine likes to leak there. I had to clean the cable up good and put some silicone where the end is crimped onto the cable. Also make sure the fittings are good and tight.
