  • [Corsa C 2000-2006] unknown serious oil leak?

    This is my friends car, its a facelift corsa c design and hes just informed me that its pissed oil all over the road abd there is none left in it, there appears to be oil all over the aircon unit and wishbone, any ideas what this could be? I havent seen it myself so dont know any more information but it has had a eml come on in the past couple of days, no idea if this is linked

      Oil pressure sensor. Usually is.

        If there's NONE he has probably smashed the sump on something, especially if there's a big puddle.

        If it's low then it's probably a leak. Like it says above, usually from the switch.

        Without seeing it, it's like me asking you why my gutters leak

              Pressure switch can go and spray all over the place. But could be anywhere. Try trace highest point of oil leak?

                Doesn't have to be highest point of the leak, f they trace the leak they will find the leak

                  I just thought If it runs down just to have a look starting at top. Or not.

                    Do you know what engine it is? The oil pressure sensor is usually common on B's...

                        Ah fair enough, not heard of it much on C's personally, but then, I dont really follow C builds or threads that often, haha. Ok.
