could it be a splash or spillafe from the oil filter change when the service was done?

I know on the old fords, they always seem to leak from the oil pressure switch. Mines been replaced god knows how many times.

If it's deffinately the switch leaking itself, I'd just replace it, I think the ford ones are about £5 from a motor spares place. So i'd hazard a guess the nissan ones would be there abouts too.

Garantee it the oil pressure switch happened to my st,take it out wrap a bit of plumbers tape (PTFE) around the threads and wack her back in mines done 10k kms and no leaks
