always used to be the oil pressure sender unit when I had mine, not too expensive to have fitted

Mine had a leak from the oil pressure sender and from a hose joint at the oil tank - hopefully fixed now by the nice man at the garage.

Hi James

Glad to see you posting again - I'd agree with everyone else - it'll be the seal on the oil sender unit. If you get it changed, that'll be the 5th. it's had!

Otherwise, how's the car going? Still running well?

Mine was the scavenger to dry sump pipe, it had chaffed away on the chassis after the engine mount had died..

That's another thing that needs sorting - the standard engine mounts are crap. It would have saved me a lot of money having long-lasting and more robust mounts. Surely someone could start manufacturing them?

Sorry I am yet to get in contact! I will give you a shout when our new baby is a bit more settled.

I had the same problem with an oil leak. Had the original oil pressure sender unit replaced with oil pressure sender unit mk2 which stopped the leak.
