300tdi oil pressure sender leak advice

Evening all.

Driving home this evening, my oil pressure light came on and remained on. Stopped and checked oil level which was fine, so continued home.

I've had a little look in the dark and the oil pressure sender is leaking oil.

Would I be right in assuming the sender is nackered, hence the oil pressure light.

I need to drive it 15 miles to work again in the morning and just want to confirm my suspicions before I do major damage!

Will order a new sender tonight.

Thanks.

In all probability it probably is the switch if it is also leaking, however I wouldn't risk driving it unless I could confirm good oil pressure as the consequences of no oil pressure is a damaged engine.

For the record a new sender sorted this issue
