Annoying oil leak - Advice needed.

[Philly1983]

Hi all,

I've got a slight oil leak which seems to be coming from the Oil pressure valve, its only slight but its dropping onto the lambada and burning up leaving a nasty smell when still.
I've had the valve changed and it seemed to stop but has come back, i didn't see the mechanic put a oil seal or anything on, should there be one ? Also when the car is off it doesn't seem to happen as there is only a minute/sometimes no oil on the road.

Just wondered if anyone else has had a similar problem and knows how to fix it.

Its a 53 VTR.

Cheers :y:

Just slightly above the pressure switch there is a allan screw type bolt, seems mine was slack as and the oil was seeping out of it :wall:

Not sure what its for like and forgot to take a picture, problem solved though.........hopefully.:A:
