Even without looking, I could have guessed the answer :-) Oil pressure 
switch. They leak on just about every car that comes through the door 
:-( It -may- be running down the wire from the cam cover behind the ac 
pulley tensioners.

In our engine section, although mail order will get a bit slow in the 
next week! (and I didn't just write the caption BTW :-)

This will not prevent the car running properly unless the leak gets 
silly bad, which is unlikely. I've seen worse.
