Oil pressure sensor...crappola!

Broke the oil pressure sensor on the back of my intake. So of course the threaded base is still attached. What's a good method of getting that thing off "easily'? Also can that thing be puking oil out of it as well? Seems like it should be if the rpm's get up.

Its actually screwed into the block, not the intake. If the angle fitting or remnant thereof is open, its a giant oil leak. Which part exactly broke off?

Seems like there is a little diaphragm in the metal "ring" that is still attchaed to that seems to be busted too. Glad it's just that. Still seems to be a pita.
