Default Oil leak on my Sapphire Cossie.
As the title suggests my Cossie has sprung an oil leak. Its coming from the passenger side of the engine and is literally dripping off the underside of the steering rack when the engine is running. It looks like its coming from the oil filter but the filters tight, it has a mocal oil cooler. I'm stumped. There is oil on the silicone hose coming from behind one of the pulleys as well ( the one that also goes into the radiator Intercooler ). Any help?

Is that a common problem?

The sill at the bottom off dipstick and oil pressure switch is, there are core plugs there too but these are uncommon

Ta mate. Is the oil pressure switch easy to get to and change? Where is it located?
