    I have an Oil Leak on the left side (driver side) of the engine, I lose around 1 Litre every 1-2 weeks.

    The highest point of the leak I have discovered is from the Alternator - I see oil in the middle of the Alternator.

    Please could someone advise or guide me on what seal or gasket I should replace? engine pic.jpg Alternator picture2.JPG

    It’s probably the oil pressure switch, this is fitted at the front directly above the alternator and is a weak point on all Corsa models.
    Very easy to fit, remove push fit connector , unscrew switch, screw in new switch and push connector back on. If you have the correct spanner to hand it should only take 1 minute.! Make sure you fit the copper washer or it will leak.!
