hi, i have just replaced the oil pressure sensor which was leaking and three weeks later its at it again. is this a common problem or is it a fault with the oil pressure sensor that GSF supply as its the second one i've had leak in year?
i changed the distributor housing gasket and the wave washer on the back of it when i last had it serviced - a month or so ago, so i dont think its leaking from there.
any help would be much appreciated. thank you.

Mine was leaking when I got the car and so I bought one from Cotswold BMW.
I remember that using a standard socket to remove the original cracked it on the way out and the centre became obviously loose - so I bought a deeper socket to avoid cracking the new one as it went in. No probs since then.
Still don't know whether it was the care I took fitting it, or the fact that it was an original BMW part that made it leak free. Maybe you have just been unlucky.
