Hi all. Need some help here.
I have been noticing some fuel smell in the engine bay. I noticed that there is leak of some sort as per the picture. What part is leaking here? And, what part is this? Sorry - I'm not mechanically inclined. Appreciate any guidance. Thank you!   |

A pic zoomed out would help, but it looks like a dual oil pressure setup. That is your idiot light and one for number readout in the cockpit. That's oil that dripped onto the tin. Do you have carbs or fuel injection?

That's oil that dripped onto the tin. Do you have carbs or fuel injection? The vehicle is fuel injected. It is oil for sure when I wiped it. I'm not certain where it's coming from (likely the brass fittings right above). Here some zoomed out pictures. Appreciate the assistance.    is the above red circled part the oil pressure switch? I've heard these usually leak. And, if that is the case, is this the correct part from 914Rubber? https://914rubber.com/oil-pressure-switch or this one from autolanta: https://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-Oil-Pre...021919081D.html Thank you! |
