Re: [doc] Oil leak, ideas and inspiration!!



Thanks Martin,

Was not panicing, these things happen ;-)) More important things to
worry about at the mo. namely first child due in a week :-)
Another thought that had crossed my mind was possible head gasket? I
know the oil pressure switch was replaced by one supplied by DMUK in
the middle of 2004, could it fail this quick? that's why I had ruled
this out but I suppose any thing is possible.
