I have been trying to trace a small oil leak over the last week or so. I jetwashed the engine last weekend to help track it down, it looks like its coming from the oil pressure sensor but, unless the wrong one was fitted, I find it hard to beleive as its a straight forward thread, any comments/ideas before I swap it? cheers (ps its a bog standard 1275)
Oil Leak From Oil Pressure Sensor?

I've had one leak from the centre. Replaced it with a 22 lb one for extra security.

They are a tapered thread on standard oil pressure switches, how tight is it? Or is it the pressure itself leaking and not from around the thread?
