    Default engine oil leak, help

    hi, guys, My vn v6 has a leak in front of the engine, just on top of the oil filter, picture attached. I used a spanner to fastened it but did not totally fixed the problem. It seems that it is a sensor of some sort. Can I fasten it more, there is no much room. many thanks.

    I don't see a photo but it might be the oil pressure switch, which can start to leak when they get old, tightening won't help because they leak from the centre. They are not very expensive to buy and replace.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    yes, you are right. Sorry I could not manage to put the picture. 20 bucks from auto one and a whole lot of effert to replace it with a big spanner. It is all good and there is no leak. I also tried the Nulon engine flush, the engine sound much better with new Penrite gas oil. People say the flush is controversial but I got less to lose in a 18 years engine. Many thanks.
