Leaky Oil Pressure Sending Unit
I have a leaky oil pressure sending unit/sensor.....is this a pretty easy fix? I'm assuming you disconnect the wiring harness, uncrew the old sensor and screw in the new one and plug back in? Is that it?

I had to replace mine shortly after I bought the car. It's a very easy fix - don't let it worry you!

That's when I would do it. As long as the leak isn't very much, otherwise just treat your max to an early oil change.

Just change it and don't worry about revolving it around the next oil change.
