into my spot at the shop I noticed a very dark line of oil coming into and then following me to where I park. I open the hood and start the engine, oil is just gushing out of the sender.....If this had happened on the ride home the day before, I am pretty
sure the engine would have been toast.... Oil light never came on this day.... The reason the light never came on was the wires were in the wrong place..... Now I have an oil light and the anti-run valve works !!!! See ya, John B. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

however (Moss 760-200, 3-lead switch), is pretty wet with oil, now that I’ve returned from a short, 10-mile drive. Not to sound too terribly naive but, do oil pressure switches leak/give up the ghost like that? Anyone else have that problem?
