Every time I think I have it licked the damn stuff finds another way out!!

I think I have tracked it down to the base of the oil filter bracket.

However, I'm really struggling to find the part!

Do you mean where the flange of the bracket seals against the engine block? If so it's a common problem. The bracket bends because it's cast aluminium. Take the bracket off, and put a straight edge against it. If it's bent, you can resurface it using emery cloth on a sheet of glass. Wash it out well after, and bolt it up, not too tight, or it'll bend again. I use the tiniest amount of silicone on the gasket (you don't want it squashing out into the oilway).

Thats the puppy.

I shall give that a whirl.

Slightly concerned that A large amount of oil had gathered under the dust cap of my oil pressure switch also.

Basically not as certain about the leak location hmmmm

In that case make sure the oil pressure switch isn't passing oil first. Much simpler job!
