My mechanic told me my oil pressure sending unit is leaking oil on my 1975 MG Midget. I cannot find this part at Moss Motors or anywhere else I looked. Is it possible it is called something else? Does anyone know where to get this part? Thank you in advance.
 
The oil pressure gauge is mechanical on a '75, unless something was added later. What did your mechanic mean by the "sending unit"? There is an oil pressure line going from the base of the distributor drive to the dashboard.
 
Isn't there a sending unit that provides input to the anti-run on valve?

Good point JC, mine doesn't have one of those, so I assumed those came later than '77. That does use an oil pressure switch.
