Any recommendations on an oil pressure switch for an M42 (1991 318is)? Choices at FCP Euro range from BMW at around $19 to FAE and Rein for around $5. BMW tends to be the rule for a CPS. Not sure what the verdict is on an oil pressure switch.
I noticed some oil pooling on the block in the nook under the oil pressure switch. I already replaced the oil filter housing gasket and o-ring a few years ago so suspect a leak at the pressure switch. Though it's also a little wet on the block under the forward intake runner and on the wire running down to the switch. Could be just oil blowing around or something more.
