Yes,
But you might as well do clutch, slave etc etc

Before you do, oil pressure switch fails and leaks oil just like a crank leak
Check this first, it's under rear coil pack and it's a consumerble item.

Thanks, will check out the oil pressure switch. It is a bit temperemental so could be that. If you rev when stationary a big plume of smoke comes out under the bonnet towards the rear. I changed the slave 6 months ago when I had it. So makes sense it could be the switch! I bloody hope so!
