81 KZ440 Leaking Oil Pressure Switch

My buddys' KZ440 developed an oil leak from the top of the oil pressure switch. Is it necessary to get a Kawi replacment or is there an aftermarket part available?

I'd try the dealer first, www.z1enterprises.com next, remove the switch and see if a car part would fit/work.

What oil pressure are you talking about?

With the engine running oil is flowing from the top of the switch. I'll try an auto parts supplier they may have one to match it.

The oil pressure switch may have the pressure stamped/printed on it, also check the threads for compatability.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationIf mine I would just bite the bullet and buy a new old stock one.
