Oil leak

[crazyhorse]

Hi guys,

I know this might be crystal ball time but here goes… I have a little oil leak coming from the van at the rear.. I thought initially it was the sump plug but now I think it’s coming from somewhere else but not sure what the part it.. any ideas?

Oil pump?

Looks like the oil pump cover plate.

I had an identical leak which came from the oil pressure switch body above.

Oil seal behind the pulley is another one that's prone to leak.

Thanks all, so 3 potential locations…

Which is easiest to do first

Oil pressure switch.
Remove alternator belt. Release the three waterpump pulley nuts. Remove pulley and take a peek.
24mm deep socket for the oil pressure switch
