Re: Oil switch location
Not sure about AC but the WBX has one between the pushrods LHS and one between the pulleys .. Bothe a cow to get to... And no need to drain oil... You should see a wire going to these places perhaps?
in too deep to quit now....

Re: Oil switch location
On top of the engine left of center, trace the wire from it.
Easy to do, you need a box spanner (about 35mm ish from memory) to clear the terminal.
No need to drain the oil.

Just behind the distributor.

Normally a 22 mm deep socket sometimes a 24 mm depending on who made the switch.
