Common problem mate it drip onto the starter motor & catches fire when you start your car (well mine always did)

Just replace it with a new one...there only about Ł8/Ł10 from Ford

Cheaper than loosing oil pressure/engine etc..

Did you put any PTF tape round the pressure switch, does'nt matter if you havent, but if it starts to weep a little, put some tape on the thread.
