Hi peeps, will changing this cause an oil slick? Thanks peeps

[tunnie]

Nah, slight drip, nothing major. What's the fault? Light on?

Thanks tunnie, no fault, light etc, but I've had an oil leak since forever, only a small one, I'm just ruling things out ATM and while I'm on I'm changing this, for a few mIns and a few quid why not. Leak is so small there's no puddle, but I have a constantly fouled sump/underside which'd be nice to have clean. I hear the oil pressure sensor can be the culprit.

I did my passenger side cam cover, there wasn't really any oil on the manifold heat shield apart from an old stain, but the plug wells were drowned. Couldn't have really gone on much longer!

Omegas, you've got to love'm

I've done a couple on Corsas and one on a 2 litre Omega, they all had a very obvious leak out of the plug on the end when the engine was running, rather than a light misting. Don't know if that helps with your diagnosis as it doesn't sound like your leak, but I agree for the sake of the few quid they cost it's worth doing to rule it out.
