The first pressure switch I that had epoxy on it was in 1996 for my ‘78 Targa. And all the motors that came under my care have this epoxy bead around the plastic. The pressure switch could fail but will not leak oil specially if you use JBWeld and will save you from premature engine removal.
As of today, the pressure switch on my ‘78 Targa is still working and no sign of oil leak around the pressure switch. The rubber diaphragm inside the pressure switch is the first to fail and will cause oil to leak. The new pressure switch are no longer made in Germany. They are made in some far away country were quality control is notorious but the price is cheap. Last time I bought one was about $7.
