hi all, yesterday I cleaned the engine very well and after having some problems with water in the igniter, I could drive home without any problems. Today when I start the car the warning light for oil pressure and water temperature goes on after 1 minute. Then it fades on and off when I drive but does not seem related to the revs of the engine. If I disconnect the oil pressure sensor then it comes off. Any idea of what could be the problem? is it likely to be a real problem with oil pressure or rather an electric problem due to cleaning the engine..?
on a separate note I have also discovered that the the engine is leaking coolant from the water pump and and I recently changed the rocker cover gasket to stop an oil leak. I also had the carburetor off for a clean (and for that I had to drain the cooling system). not sure if any of this could cause the issues I have now located to the oil pressure but maybe it does.
the car is an R4 from 1984. any suggestions appreciated. thanks.
