the problem is i could smell buring and see smoke coming out from under the bonnet.
next i know there oil all over the place, and on the manifold causing the smell but the part i dont know what it's called.

what looks abit like a spark plug coming out to the left of the rocker cover with a cable going into it.

I will be willing to bet your rocker cover gasket has gone leaking oil

IIRC,. its the oil pressure sensor, and its a common fault with them. They cost about £30 and are simple to replace, but my brother's went again after about 4 months. I think it may indicate another underlying problem.

Mine went, it DOES leak oil, and cost 4quid from vauxhall. the seals on the plug wear out and let oil out.
