Got there before me, I have exactly the same problem.
There's oil literally everywhere 
Nice one, chaps
Thinking about it, don't suppose anyone will be able to give me the part number? There's a local company I can probably get it from faster than Vaux.

How clean is that engine bay  and a 12v with ABS and the battery is in the wrong place is that an Opel by any chance?
I realise now also that my post is useless.

Oh yeah, the ABS is where the battery should be, took me a minute to find the battery 
My engine bay is covered in mud and oil

Scrappy was probably a better idea as mine is shiny, unlike the rest of the engine bay
I went in to the local Vauxhall dealership and said I need an oil pressure switch, he said is it a Corsa, I said yes, he said it is leaking, I said yes
