Re: [doc] Oil leak, ideas and inspiration!!

Thanks Martin,

Was not panicing, these things happen ;-)) More important things to 
worry about at the mo. namely first child due in a week :-)
Another thought that had crossed my mind was possible head gasket? I 
know the oil pressure switch was replaced by one supplied by DMUK in 
the middle of 2004, could it fail this quick? that's why I had ruled 
this out but I suppose any thing is possible.
