In this video, we see a problem that may affect the Opel Corsa D, although not all cars are affected: the oil pump membrane can cause leaks. The problem is often due to the oil pressure switch, whose internal membrane can deteriorate over time, causing visible oil leaks under the engine, and in some cases traces of oil in the coolant.

The main cause is the deterioration of the internal membrane of the oil pressure switch, so the solution is clearly to replace the switch itself; it is not necessarily the pump that is the problem.
