Well on the advice of members today i took the plenum off and immediately i found oil&water gunge in 4 breather pipes and in the plenum.Sprayed plenty of engine degreaser into plenum plastic inlets and then flushed through with water pipe.Iwas going to remove the plastic center strip but unlike in the post this unit appears sealed(unless you know better).Then removed and cleaned breather pipes well 3 of them to be exact and also found the small outlet on the breather box was solid so as recommended i used a drill bit to clean it out.Refitted everything and the car now feels livelier and will check tomorrow on oil leak on crank sensor.I don't have a small or low enough torque wrench so didn't over tighten the plenum,if i missed anything please inform.Undrer the plenum oil wise everything seems pretty dry no obvious oil leaks anywhere,how to check rocker cover gaskets?Many thanks

As the title suggests a list of gaskets and seals with part numbers would be very useful for members.I know on some of the guides they are mentioned but here in one place alot easier to find.Then members could add known suppliers of parts,some are easy some less so and up to date prices.What do you all think???

I got under the car today and I can confirm the oil is weeping from the crank sensor as soon as the engine is running,everything else is good.I going to buy a torx socket set they seem cheap enough and then perhaps I can tackle the breather and cam cover problem if there is one.How to check cam cover leakage?access plugs i'll need torx first I guess? Thanks What about this set http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321654315909?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

At the moment the car is on ramps and it appears the leak is when started,if the seal had gone would this be the case?

There is a bit of oil around but after cleaning and drying as best i could i started the engine and could see it weeping out of the sensor.I'll try it again tmr and if i'm as sure as i can be i'll remove the crank sensor,do i need to drain the oil first?Thanks

Just had a look for an oil pressure switch and it looks very different so maybe its not that but something else!! https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-0zK-3mY8PgM/VVX2ovh3XrI/AAAAAAAAAAc/-CBuqc6kPmk/h120/SDC10164.JPG https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-bs75GOUVA9c/VVX2qW1sHeI/AAAAAAAAAAk/hcxjTnc5qe0/h120/SDC10168.JPG Here are 2 photos

Omega General Help / Oil pressure switch??
« on: 15 May 2015, 14:12:42 »
Hi everyone,I hope someone can help.I seem to have an oil leak coming from under the car after just purchasing some ramps and investigating it looks like the oil pressure switch?? Its on the passenger side above the sump and appears to be black plastic with one torx screw and the wires are protected by a silver metal cover.There seems to be oil leaking out of here especially when warm.If this is right and i remove the torx screw is it just a cover so I wont get covered in oil?How to solve said problem?Many thanks Glenn Have taken photo but how to add mmmmm

I can confirm the 4 tonne low clearance ramps as suggested by James worked a treat and seem quite strong but light.Now to solve my oil leak problem!!!! Thanks to all
