Hello friends. I understand this topic has been covered several times, but I have only found one post relating to my specific problem and I still seem to be out of luck.

I currently have an oil leak coming from my oil pressure switch, more specifically, the smaller hole where the golden, fork-like sensor connects to the switch via a small silver screw.

Leak Source (SEALED):



Pressure Switch Thread (SEALED):



Pressure Switch Cover



Notable Oil Locations



I'm assuming the pressure switch is the only location for leaking oil because, I haven't seen it run out from anywhere else like it runs out from the pressure switch.
The notable oil locations are what I assume is the oil being carried by the wind, spattering everywhere. I have used Permatex to seal the areas and hopefully this will do the trick. Any suggestions or input?

It was. But was a relatively easy fix once I got the impellor off... and the mechanical oil seal out... oh... and then I snapped the bolt that holds the impellor on... that was fun. A bench vice and the correct tool to press the mechanical oil seal back into the water pump body would have been great too... I have a few other niggles to sort out but that issue is fixed... :)
