Oil is leaking from this connector. Can anybody tell me what it is, what it does? Thanks!

Oil pressure switch. Very common on the XE/XEP engine family.

Ten minutes to replace, and a cheap part!

Any motor factor will stock it, and I think it’s something like a 17mm spanner you need to replace it. Easy job!
