Hi all,

Please see the photos. Had an oil leak from here, don't know what its called to get a new one. Its not the actual plastic sensor, its the part that is attached to the engine with a nut, and the sensor plugs in.

Cheers guys!

That is the plug that goes onto the oil pressure sensor, it will be the sensor that is naffed. It will be worth cleaning all the gunk from your breathers and cam cover at the same time.

Yeah its the pressure sensor part that is letting the oil through. Should I just clean it up and try it again or get a new one? or one from the scrappies?

Get a new one, they fail a lot on those engines. But like I said clean out the cam cover and breathers, and give it a oil and filter change, will should reduce the chance of it happening again.
