i am about to install a mechanical oil press gauge, and i wanted to make sure i had the right place i was installing it too, please correct me if i am wrong, the oil sender is to the top left(driver side) of the block, it has a harness on it with one wire comming out, please let me know if i have the right port or not, thanks

thanks, one more question, when i remove that, is there going to be oil comming out? just want to be prepared, thanks

 

[kelvinb]

good question. i would say yes, unless the car has sat all day ( not running). you may want to wait to do this until you change the oil just to be sure

like the guy before me just posted. there should not be any oil running out of it unless you just recently ran the car, the pressure sensor is alot higher up than the oil pan the sensor makes sure that your oil pump is working and if it aint workin no oil can get up to it cause ur service engine light to come on. but you may have alittle oil not like a massive flow of it were your gonna drown in it if ur directly under it .
