Hiya Folks OK - now this is getting really good...
Still not sorted the air cooler temp control thingie - I parked up at work yesterday, and noticed a small dribble of oil. Hmmm. All I have done it take the air cleaner off, new E-9090 K&N Filter, and a new set of spark leads (so far), and topped up the oil as was a bit low. (in the dark / torchlight, so dribbled some on the manifold - have been getting a good whiff on the way to work for a few days! I assumed this was where the small dribble was from.) Got home, then nipped out again, came back home, and the headlights showed a larger puddle of oil in the headlights. Bigger Hmmmm. Left engine running, and shone torch under car. Drip a second. Massive Hmmmm followed by 'golly gosh' look at all that oil! Have checked the rocker cover, and tightened it slightly - all the screws could easily turn 1/4. Still dripping badly. Shone torch down to look at the sump drain bolt, and a very small splash on the drive - moved torch across - watched the oil drip from the oil pressure switch into a big puddle - the top of the switch is like thick grease, and the underside is nice shiny newish oil... So I guess it is the oil pressure switch - there are no trails to the switch that I could see from anywhere else, and the inlet manifold is directly above, so not likely to be lucky dripping from above. The query is - looking on the rest of the forum & Web - the switch is possibly tapered unit, so unlikely to work loose I would have thought, and also it appears to be prone to failure. I can touch it from above, and cannot turn it by hand, but I cannot seem to get a spanner on it What is the best way of checking the tightness, and also to replace it? Because I cannot see the connector - is it a standard spade connector, or is it something more weird? (My fault totally - I was talking today saying how wonderful the car is!)
