It pisses out at a great rate from the smallest crack in a switch. Put it on ramps and get under and have someone start the car, if its the switch it will spray everywhere.

ill check the rocker cover later on.
i degreased it this arvo before taking it get the gearbox flushed and when i got back looked underneath and there was oil everywhere.took it back to gearbox bloke thinking he hadnt tightened something ,but when he got it on the hoist i looked under the car and there was oil everywhere on the passenger side closest to the firewall and i cant think of any seals ,niether could gearbox bloke, that are there so roker cover could be the logical problem. if so would it just need a tightning or maybe a new cover?? cheers

Yeah they cop the full oil pressure from the pump/filter so id imagine it'd be pretty messy...

Mine was easy to get to, just needed a big a** socket to undo the bastard. Once i got the right socket, was a walk in the park
