25 years ago i was leaking oil by slow drops from the pipe on the gauge. =
An old time mechanic told me to go into my mother=E2=80=99s sewing =
basket and find some cotton thread and wind it around the pipe and =
replace the nut. Never a drop since.

My experience: without some air in the hose or hard line the oil =
pressure gauge needle will vibrate from oil pump pressure fluctuations. =
The air acts as a damper to prevent that.

I replaced the flexible hose without thinking about air getting into the =
system and the gauge worked fine. When I did think about it, I thought =
I should bleed the air, which I did. The needle immediately began =
vibrating severely and continued until I disconnected the line at the =
gauge and reconnected it without bleeding. A couple years later during =
my return from Conclave in San Diego, I noticed the needle vibrating =
again. Investigation found the nut on the line behind the gauge loose, =
with a drop of oil hanging from it. Apparently, the line bled itself =
through the loose nut. Disconnecting and reconnecting the line fixed =
it.

The flexible pipe which comes out of the block on the RHS, under the =
carbs, and is the beginning of the pipework to the oil pressure =
gauge..............
I think that mine is seeping a leetle tiny seep where it comes out of =
the block. Nothing that matters, but it won=E2=80=99t get any better.
So, my guess is that there=E2=80=99s a dodgy washer in there somewhere. =
Now, if I take it all apart, air will get in to the pipe???
Does that matter?
If it does matter, what=E2=80=99s the cure?....Run the engine and loosen =
off the connection at the back of the gauge??
