  1. Hey guys, Finally got my baby back. 1980 GSX 1100 ET I inherited from my dad. Been having some fun the last few decent days of weather we've had in the UK. Had a bit of an issue with the first repair/mechanic, but all sorted. Rode her home yesterday, but noticed there was oil all over my left boot. Side gasket/starter motor had just been done as well as the head gasket, so was somewhat hesitant to immediately blame it on that. I noticed below the fuel tank, a lot of the wiring there literally had drips of oil coming down, and onto the carbs causing smoking. Upon further inspection, it appears that my oil pressure switch may be "spurting" the oil "up"? I've never really come across this, so really not sure. Had a car mechanic have a little look (He was with me when I pulled up to my garage) and he was stating that in cars, that can happen and is most likely the cause. Been googling, but either I'm useless, or can't find the right terms. I've attached some photos. Just above the switch, the large metal (I do apologise my ignorance, I have no idea of the correct term) tends to have a huge drops of oil underneath also, directly above the switch. It's fresh and extremely hot. This doesn't really happen on short rides unless I fully open her up. The oil on my boot I'm presuming is run off from the switch, to the left side of the engine. Right side is completely dry. Nothing on that side/oil at all. Any ideas/comments/opinions fully welcome. Any questions/further information needed, please do let me know and I'll provide what I can.
