I had the same problem recently, and others said its an easy fix to replace that sw (common failure) and no drop required.
After more than 30 years of Mech. Engineering I would say this:
If I had a Dollar for every exaggerated statement made by armchair experts, I would be very rich.
Easy? That's a relative term.
What's easy for someone with very good mechanical skills can turn into a nightmare for someone else.
Go ahead, see how "easy" it is.
Muck around without a partial drop, replace the switch and find later that the leak comes from the thermostat, or breather cap.

PP has some very, very good people helping out but also a lot of wrong info and BS.
Cheers.
