Oil Pressure Switch [ engine block ]

[supercat 2001]

my oil pressure switch is working ok, ie; the light on the speedo fascia
goes out when starting the engine, problem is, i noticed a little oil
dripping from under the engine, and on further investigation the,
oil is coming from the centre of the switch on the engine block, is
there a quick fix? or is a new switch the best way forward?

The switch is a no maintenance item. Check that it is screwed in tight otherwise a replacement.

took the switch out to examine the unit,
oil is flowing freely between the electrode,
where, obviously it should not, so a new
one is on order,
