Whats this? Oil leak RS1

[RichMcc]

Ive noticed a small amount of oil at the front of my engine. Ive kept and eye on it and now today it seems really bad. At first there was only enough oil to leave a dark patch but now I can clearly see oil.

Does anyone know what these two puppies are? On the left and above the oil filter and the other thing on the right and below the filter.
The oil seems to be coming from the left one and running down. Is it the oil pressure sensor? Because my oil pressure lights coming on too

this is the bad boy it seems to be coming from

Anyone had a similar problem or know whats up here?

Looks like your oil pressure sensor and oil temp or level sensor are leaking,
both are easy to change. And quite cheap aswell.

Hope this helps.

BIG D is correct, level and pressure warning sender are leaking.

If your pressure warning light is on, i would have it investigated.

Any idea why that would have happened?
Do they have seals on them that could have gone?
The pressure sensor seems to be the one thats leaking the oil is just running to the other one (I think).
The pressure light is comes on at idle and goes off when you rev it :S

Seriously mate that needs lookin at sooner rather than later IMO as oil pressure itself will obviously raise with rpm from idle hence pressure increase....:S

they just have washers which seal.
