oil pressure sensor angle fitting

I am in the middle of replacing the intake manifold gaskets and replacing the oilpressure sensor.
I was wondering if i have to take the angle fittings out of the block and reseal them again to be sure there is no leakage from them.
And what kind of sealant should i use for the sensor and mabey the fittings.

You don't have to remove the angle fittings. It's up to you if you want or need to because of leakage. Use pipe dope or thread sealant from a tube, not teflon tape.

The oil will dissolve it. It's ok for non-oil exposure applications.
