Default oil pressure sensor

well i have found my leak to be coming from my oil pressure sensor!!! my valve cover gasket i am goin to replace as well. as well as my oil pan it has a substantial amout seepin thru!!! question is how hard is it to replace the pressure sensor?? or should i just take it to this performance shop i go to?

the oil is leaking onto my flex pipe under my car!!! could the leakage from the rear of the oil pan be causing this? cuz thats where the majority is seeping thru, or is it just the pressure sensor just drippin down!!!

any help will be much appreciated!!! thanx

The only way for you to be sure where its coming from is to jack it up, clean all the oil off, start it up and watch.

Should be straight foward, unbolt the little bolt, remove the wire, unbolt the sensor from the block, install the new sensor(use thread sealer), wire, bolt.
