And how much would a new sensor set me back? I can't find one on autovaux. | |

So that thing with the green seal on it IS the oil pressure sensor? | |

I'd just buy a new sensor and fit it first, if it still leaks then go to Vauxhall | |

Do you reckon its worth going to vaux? Will they give me an opinion without me having to pay them a small fortune? | |

Oil pressure sensor i think, i've heard its a problem on 12v's before, a new sensor should be a better seal and stop it leaking. I'm not 100% tho | |

This is the plug that went into the hole, maybe that green seal is fucked? | |

Ok I've been out for another look, I put a massive metal tray under the engine bay are, and left my car idling, pulling on that accelerator cable thingy a few times to give it some revs. | |

I was laying under the car having another look, and looked up into the engine bay and noticed this hose dripping with oil with a loose bit of electrical tape dangling off it! Could this be it? | |

On the last pic, I peeled back part of that pipe thingy that goes towards my drivers side wheel, im guessing thats bad. | |
