HOUSTON, WE HAVE A PROBLEM!!!!! Options

[ne14914]

OK - I tried to change the oil pressure switch - hoping this would rid me of my oil leak problem, and while installing the new one, I dropped/lost in in the tin (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)

While looking inside, where the switch goes, I could see the oil, and it looked as if it was being syphoned - you know like gulp, gulp - and the gulps were in sync with the drips coming from up underneath the car.

So - I have two problems / questions:

1. Do you think a magnent will pull the switch out? Its not visible (IMG:style_emoticons/default/splat.gif) and if not - is it difficult to remove the tin? If not, how do I go about it? I took out the flat head screws, but the tin didnt move.

2. If it is not the switch - (it looks like its coming from the cooler - I hope not - but if it is, can anyone guide me through removing the cooler without dropping the engine? - And is there anything else I should check before I assume its the cooler?

Thanks - ALL help is appreciated

I think Andy forgot about the two days of soaking all nuts and bolts in PP blaster, or the 4-5 hours of picking crud out of the special bolt heads, so the special socket will fit.

I'd estimate another hour for swearing and bandageing knuckles.

Another hour for tape/marking hoses and connections so you can get them back where they belong.

I did leave out the 4 hours for washing the grease from the axels out of your hair and the time spent at the hospital getting the stictches put in. (Should have bagged the ends and tied them up)
