Is this the oil level sensor?

Would this stop the car from starting if it was broken?

I've always had a on/off problem with the oil level guage not working. I thought it was the canister looking thing in the engine bay.

Tonight I was messing with the clutch and saw oil in the area and then saw the broken plug/sensor.

Is this something I can get from Pepboys or do I have to get it from the dealership?


Thanks in advance.

yes it is the low level sensor and no it won't cause the car not to start

Mine leaks as well...I'm just gonna plug it since I check the oil every time I drive it anyway.

What is the part called? Low oil level sensor?

I tried asking at Pepboys but it doesn't look like they have it.

What is the size of the plug? Is it metric? I saw a 3/4 but the thread looked too course.

I don't have a NAPA near me. Would a plumbing plug from Home Depot work?
