oil hose from back centre of block to the drivers side wing?

[plumAJP]

what is this for? when i was clearing the oil ways with an air hose i could hear oil hissing out of it. mine is braided with goodridge written on it but no yellow label telling me what it is. it right by the oil pressure switch.

Its the feed to the oil pressure gauge on the dash.

[plumAJP]

ah right, so what it the sensor next to it! i thought that was oil pressure or is it oil temp?

[fatjon]

I think thats the oil pressure switch for the red light.

[brogenville]

Yup.

[plumAJP]

ah right, so switch for the light and the hose for the pressure reading.

it started last night and i had oil pressure woohooo. it was 65psi on cold and slowly dropped to 60psi after 7 minutes of idling. knocked it off then as my rad started to hiss. so i have to get that braised now.

I did try and restart it but the starter motor solenoid was just clicking. so thats the next fix for me now.

the starter was perfect before i took the car apart. could the clicking be due to a bad earth, too much heat, not enough earth? i dont feel it needs a refurb
