I'm in the middle of replacing my intake gaskets. Has anyone had any experience with the oil pressure sender leaking oil? It would be a breeze to replace it now, with the intake out of the way.

There is oil and crude all over the back of the block, its hard to tell if it was only coming from the intake.

 

I wouldn't mess with it. My dad tried to take mine apart while we were doing the heads and cam swap and ended up breaking it. I say leave well enough alone.

They don't really spring leaks much, but they do seem to indicate lower pressure as they age.

 

Thanks! I think i'll leave it alone for now. The oil leak only seemed to occur in hot, stop-and-go traffic, evident by the smell of oil dripping onto the exhaust. Sounds like the intake to me. Oil pressure readings are similar to when car was new.
