I posted on Oil pressure light a few days ago. Now add to that , Oil has appeard on my Garage floor, right under the engine bay.

I will be contacting HHC tomorrow, but wondered if you had any ideas?

Oil pressure seems fine, oil light comes on at 4300rpm, but doesnt seems to loose PSI (but pSI doesnt go up much beyond that point either)

Being a new owner (5 days) wondered if you had ideas?

Please dont say is bad news.

Cheers
Nick

oil pressure senders have also been known to leak.
i suggest you take the bonnet off and find the leak before you drive anywere.
Also check sump plug on bottom of oil resevoir mine leaked there but half a turn with a spanner cured it.
good luck lee

My oil pressure sender switch also leaked. Another common problem with them (or maybe the way they're fitted?).

Although you don't say how much oil, but I'm guessing not very much?
