<div>For a more detailed answer: The air will compress & since there is no where for either the air or the oil to escape, the pressure will be the same everywhere in the line including at the gage.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">The flexible pipe which comes out of the block on the RHS, under the carbs, and is the beginning of the pipework to the oil pressure gauge..............</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">I think that mine is seeping a leetle tiny seep where it comes out of the block. Nothing that matters, but it won’t get any better.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">So, my guess is that there’s a dodgy washer in there somewhere. Now, if I take it all apart, air will get in to the pipe???</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">Does that matter?</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">If it does matter, what’s the cure?....Run the engine and loosen off the connection at the back of the gauge??</div>
