There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
2015 RT with an Oil leak - anyone know the torque on the oil pressure sensor housing screw?

Yes. Normally the part# is a 9-digit number. Also, are we talking about the part that the parts diagram calls an "oil pressure switch"?Which part#? Do you mean the part# shown in post #2??

I suppose this could be a typical area for confusion. The 1330 SE6 has both, an Oil Pressure SWITCH, and an Oil Pressure SENSOR. (Both were referred to as switches in parts lists until halfway through 2016)
The Oil Pressure Switch is associated with engine oil pressure, and is located approximately below the oil filter, pointing to the rear. It’s the thing that lights the Low Oil Pressure light on the cluster. It’s literally a switch, either on or off. Upon double checking, I cannot see an O-ring or housing associated with it. Just a harness connector. The switch has threads and screws in on its own accord. There are Loctite and torque requirements
The Oil Pressure Sensor - AKA Clutch Pressure Sensor/Clutch Oil Pressure Sensor - is associated with the clutch and is located approximately below the HCM oil filter. It does have an O-ring and a housing associated with it. The housing is not removed in order to change the sensor. The sensor screws into the housing. The housing itself is screwed onto the clutch cover with two screws and a gasket. Similar to an O-ring. It can be replaced and the old sensor re-used. Sensor threads and housing screws (2) threads also have Loctite and torque requirements.
So, which one you guys are talking about should probably be clarified. Unfortunately, I can’t help with Ron’s part number. It’s not correct, and not a variation of the correct part numbers. Sorry.

OK, my bad on this one. I was referencing the Cam Position Sensor, which is the source of a much more common leak issue. The part # I gave in post # 2 was not for the Oil Pressure Sensor located low on the engine. I have corrected that error.
Clearly, you don't want this sensor to go bad. The price on this is in the stratosphere! I really don't know how BRP can justify this kind of pricing. There just can't be that much money in these.
Part # 420264166
This is the current superseded number.
I apologize for the confusion.

Yeah, that’s quite a change in location focus from the clutch oil pressure sensor (the one with the housing), to the engine oil pressure switch; a higher point on the engine. And realizing we don’t know how long that you’ve owned this thing, how heavy it’s leaking, or how long it’s been leaking. You’ve got this potential item:
Or maybe your oil filter cap o-ring is leaking, or cam sensor, as mentioned above. Even higher points. Oil leaks run downhill. Not quite sure? I would suggest you get a can of Gunk Degreaser, hose down the area until it’s clean enough to eat off of, and then make a systematic observation to identify the source.
