Where you described the oil pressure switch sounds like it could very well be that...I'll wrap something around the oil filter and see if I can get a more accurate spot.
I have got under to watch where it is coming from but as I don't know what I'm looking at or for it makes it a bit hard.
Once again thanks for the advice...I'll do this next step tomorrow _________________ "Consistency is the last refuge of the unimaginative" (Oscar Wilde).
Hee hee...That bit is coming...just compiling lots of questions about them
Okay I found the answer to my question in your pictures thread. Here is the outcome. Cool.
p.s. just looking at your oil leak problem, despite all the help and great old engine drawings, you're gonna lose a lot of that head of hair of yours unless you clean that engine first. Easier to see where your new oil is coming from against a clean sump.
To do this, head back down to supercheap, or knock some 'engine cleaner/degreaser' off from Woz'z stash if you didnt buy some already. Then nick $4 from his ashtray. Then, drive illegally to nearest jetspray cleaner joint.
Then, liberally apply engine cleaner to bottom of engine and gearbox. Then, roll and smoke a cigarette (away from the fumes). Then, twiddle thumbs for about 5-10 minutes. Then, hit the bottom of your engine with the high pressure hose, and watch that baby shine. Try not to get too much water up around the top of the engine where the electrical bits are. And never apply cold water to a hit engine. There are two reasons for waiting like I explained. 1) to give the cleaner time to do its job and 2) to let the engine cool a little.
Then wait for another ciggy, then drive home.
Then, your oil leak/s will show up better.
This works better than the approach I used, which was to fix a small leak by putting a new engine in.

We still have about three cans of degreaser left... Alice went under there with a toothbrush (no joke!) and removed a very think layer of tar. If you think the "after" pix look bad - imagine what the "before" was like! _________________ ....Woz

Those were after shots? Geez.
Toothbrush. Not bad. I used a twig. Some of that stuff is unreal that gets baked on.
