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.

thanks both,

ok, that sounds like your both in agreement..

Easy repair? will have a look in the wiki

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
