Hey, can anyone tell me what this is and why it would have oil coming out of it? Recently my engine has been leaking oil a lot, about half a litre a week, and i think this is the culprit. It's to the left of the spark plug leads, is it some kind of sensor?

Is it a case of getting a new one, or is it just a gasket/washer around it which may have corroded?

cheers

oil pressure sensor mate, get a new one they go dodgy over time and leak oil out, a new one will fix your problems, try and get a VW one for about £15 i think they are as the GSF ones are shockingly bad.

I had the same problem on the Ibiza, its the oil pressure switch, ours when like yours and had a small leak from it, easy to replace and all will be fine Smile

You lads, are awesome. I'll get on it this week.

The amount of apparent crap I've had from this is nuts, even to the point of if i break sharp oil spills onto the exhaust below and stinks the car out

Should this be obvious on VAGCOM too?

cheers

as above we had no fault codes stored, but the switch did start to play up in the end and the oil light would come on at low revs, once you get to 1.5k it would go off.

The oil light hasn't started to go on yet, so it couldn't be too bad. It's just annoying needing to keep topping half a litre up every week or so Mad lol
