Hi Guys,

So this evening i decide to clean up my engine bay a little, while cleaning i noticed some oil on the skid plate, it looked very fresh.
I looks like it could be coming from the oil filter region, but i can't be sure. I jacked the car up, but couldn't see anything. Are there any seals etc that could be worn ?

Just read on another website that a pretty common leak on the m20 is the oil pressure sender.
Can one just replace this ? Easy job ?

yea is an easy job mate if memory serves me right its just a case of unbolting it

Much more common than a dud oil pressure switch, on a 325, is a leak from the oil cooler thermostat, which is built into the take off block for the oil cooler pipes.
There is a small kit available from your dealer to repair this, consisting of a new O ring, in an improved material, a new end cover and a circlip.

thanks guys!
