oil slick on my drive!
« on: 03 July 2011, 19:07 »
Fired up me old girl today,first time in a while,left it running for a bit to warm up and shut up due to oil dry engine parts,only to find a lake of oil on drive leaking from what looks like sensor on top of oil filter housing,it has a rubber boot over it.ok easy enough to replace but what is it? Why would it piss oil,could it mean engine probs ?

It's just your oil pressure sensor mate.
Locate which one it is and go get a new one.there is a high and a low type so get the right one. They are colour coded if I recall :)
Simple fix
