My car is in excellent running condition, except for the oil light flashing now-and-then.
Sometimes when it idles or at low speed. It never stays on, but just occasionally flashes.
I have noticed oil leaking/sweating out at the bottom where the oil filter is mounted.
The other day I wiped it clean. I let the car idle and noticed oil seeping out of the seal of the housing next to the fitting where the oil filter goes in (see attached diagram - "sealing gasket")
My question is as follows... if this seal is leaking and has become so deteriorated over time, would that be the cause of the oil pressure dropping?
Any advise would be greatly appreciated.
