Oil leak

#1 Post by chilliwack » Wed Aug 26, 2009 8:31 pm

I've got oil coming from just above the oil filter. I've cleaned the area and it seems to be coming from the oil pressure switch.

I've looked at the parts book and notice that the filter assy comes off as well. Has anybody had issues in this area?

I was planning on pulling the switch this weekend and re-sealing it.

Should it have a crush washer? Sensor sealant?

Cheers,

Roger

I recently replaced a leaking switch on my Range Rover. I think the washer is solid but in a pinch, if you had a crushable one I am sure it would work.
