Default Oil leak on cvh efi

I've developed an oil leak at the back of my efi rs turbo engine. Had a very quick look and it feels like the oil pressure switch area as it was warm oil? And dripping from that bit? Is it a big job and do I need much? Doing an oil change soon anyway so ill do it all then! Cheers

Unscrew, fit a new one. IME dont put PTFE on it as that area of the block is prone to cracking as it is, and ptfe just adds more risk (plus people overtighten them anyway). For the £7 or whatever it costs, just fit new with nice clean leak proof threads
