Where the hell is this oil leak from please???

[BartonStag]

Hi all,
Any thoughts about one this please folks - hopefully CHEAP ones Had trickle of oil running off of the oil pump housing onto the exhaust downpipe - bugger! So, since then have replaced all the O-rings etc in the pump, the oil transfer housing and pressure switch - but the leak is still there. I cant make out where it's coming from, it appears to be a slow trickle not a massive oil loss that's under pressure. But still I can't make out the source of this damned leak. Advice please folks.

As always any thoughts will be appreciated.

Cheers

Rubber half moon at back of head, or oil pressure switch overtightened cracking the housing?

[BartonStag]

Thanks for the thought - is it Russ? (apologies if not). Have just been out and checked, half moon newly fitted and sealed, however, there does appear to be oil around the pressure switch. I don't believe the housing has cracked, but is it possible the pressure switch has split/cracked and leaking from there?

Leaking oil pressure switches are quite common - give the area a good wash down, let it dry and then give it a liberal dusting of baby powder...it'll allow you to see the source easier...

And yes Gord, it is Russ... often imitated, seldom bettered

[BartonStag]

Ok Russ thanks for the advice, i'll give it a go to see what I can see.

PS. don't forget imitation is indeed a form of flattery
