Hi all, sorry if this is a silly question but been to see Colin today at TVRSSW and he said I have an oil leak from the oil sender (I think that's what he called it but had forgotten). i've added a pic I found, but just wondered is there a washer of any kind on there I can replace as the reading on the dash is fine so don't want to by a new sender if its just a washer. Im pretty sure this is what he pointed to. Thanks in advance.

No washer, it's tapered thread so should self-seal when tight. The senders themselves can be a bit 'porous'

clean up the area, then just tighten the sender a little (17mm spanner), that's all you might need to do

That looks like the oil pressure switch, illuminates low oil pressure light.
Screw in switch, standard rover item.
