Title: Slight oil leak but don't know what the part is ??
Post by: treilly on June 29, 2014, 11:24:51 am

Hi guys, only just noticed I've got a slight oil leak on this part but I'm not sure what it is. It's coming from the large gold nut on the left.

Thanks in advance  :smiley:

The large gold nut on the left is part of the low fuel pressure sensor. As the name suggests it measures fuel pressure and has no internal oil component for lubrication.

btw nice pic...   :happy2:
