<div class="moz-cite-prefix">It is most likely that the bourdon
spring inside the gauge has a small crack near where it is
soldered. Perhaps it is possible to re-solder the leak. In the
mean time you can disconnect the oil pipe where it is fitted to
the engine and plug the hole. No problem driving that way but
there is no check of course that there is oil pressure. Many cars
do not except for a warning light. If the car has always been
healthy I would not worry.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Good morning,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This morning I tracked a couple of oil spots on my jeans
back to the oil pressure gauge. There's a bit of oil inside
the gauge, and the oil is seeping out.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can I fix the gauge myself, or do I need to send it out?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Can this wait a few months until the driving season is
over? What's the risk of the gauge failing badly and the
engine starting to loose oil pressure?</div>

<div>thanks,</div>
