anyone mess with the "oil sender"??

I had the dealership inspection done on my car. I have 35k on my 99 SE, and they said my "oil sender" is leaking, and that I need to replace some drive belts. I was wondering what kind of labor is involved in changing out the oil sender if anyone has ever done it. I haven't seen my car leak anything, but it's not like I really really checked.

1 1 1/4" Socket, I believe - needs to be a deep socket too.

Takes 5 minutes to pull it off, and maybe 10 to drain and refill the oil.

Can someone verify the socket size? I remember it was SAE and not metric, but I'm not sure if it was 1 3/8" or 1 1/4".....
