What car/engine?

If the oil light flashes, it might be like my XE where the oil is leaking on to the plug.

Crankshaft seal? Sump? Is it leaking down head? Rocker gasket?

Dont get a 3 quid one from e-bay. I went through 2 in a year and the last one only lasted 3 weeks bvefore it started leaking again. Pay a bit more for a better one e.g. a tenner and put some PTFE tape on the thread before you screw the new one in or better still get one from VX.
