Hi everyone ,

I have apparently an oil leak from the oil pressure switch. I am going to replace it... Can I just unscrew it and then screw the new one on as simple as this ?

Thanks.
Georgia is in trouble

You have to be more specific. Are you talking about the oil solenoid at the bottom of the engine that always leaks?

Old thread but it was definitely the oil pressure sensor that was leaking! Replaced it and now prefect.

I had to get the engine cleaned though.

 

Just goes into the side of the engine:
