On closer inspection I think you might be right Paul, the rubber boot on the switch was full of oil which, from what I can tell the oil looks to dripping from above it out of the filter housing just behind the right hand oil cooler hose.

As well as the valve could you please price up the big O ring and the two washers that go on the big centre bolt for the housing.


Cheers
