[T3] No oil pressure


<x-flowed>Suddenly I have no oil pressure.
Over the last couple of weeks,every once
and awhile,the oil light would come on for a second
or two then go out.I assumed that an intermitent connection
would do that and ordered a new switch with the intention
of changing out the switch and some suspect wiring.
A couple of days ago,I went to start up and the light wouldn't
go out at all.Okay,says I,I'll do it now.Shut it off,got out to see
a big puddle of oil.Split filter!Ok,it's cold.Maybe a bit enthusiatic with the revs.But with 30w oil?Replace filter,top
off sump,replace sender with new,new connector and try
again. SAME thing!
Remove pressure switch.Crank with no coil wire.No oil
out of switch hole.Remove wire from switch,turn on key=
no light.Hmm.
