Default Broken Oil Fiting Back of Block what to do??

So i just picked up a 94 LS with a b16a from japan in it and is also boosted. i noticed small leaks of oil when pulling into my driveway i looked around and thought it was the return line to the pan from the turbo.but further diagnosis led me to find that the fitting that the oil feed line and sending unit are connected to the block by snapped, so part of the thread is still in the block and the other is still attached to the sending unit.....any suggestions or similar problems, thanks

Drill out, weld up hole, use a sandwich plate for oil feed.

try to work the remaining threads out with a small screwdriver and hammer, or a punch and hammer. if you can get it to start to move you can get it out... thats going to be a pain in the *** cuz its so tight... you could probably get to it alot better if you remove the intake manifold. hope this helps!
