Hi Rich,

A more likely suspect is the fitting at the rear of the oil pressure gauge.
Later Healeys utilized a washer between the pipe and the gauge (P/N 2K4936)=
.

Check if there is oil on the nut at the back of the gauge. If so, try
tightening it; if the leak persists, you likely need to replace the washer.

Regards,

Harold
