I got an oil leak and I have traced it back to this part. Would really appreciate if the help so I can order a new one. Its on the driver side on the block, just above the oil pan.
Thanks

It helps to state what car it is. guessing its your 200, its one of the oil pressure switches. high or low, I can't tell. pull the rubber back and it should have a part # on it.
hope that helps.

I dont know that one is usually installed at one spot over the other. you are going to have to get your hands dirty on this one. find the part number on the leaky switch and order it. The last digit may be different, but as long as the rest of the part number is right, get it.
