Hi all,

Well... I knew that my Swedish Baklava was far from stage zero but it's a little too early for this. My wife and I were on our way to shopping for my friend's grandson, my oil pressure light came on, I pulled over as soon as I saw the light. I find a tiny oil leak around the oil pressure sender area, it's definitely coming from it. Do I need to replace or is this something I can fix? There is more twist to this event. I left all my tools in Maryland. I only brought few tools like a set of screw drivers, 1/4" + 3/8" ratchet wrenches and sets of regular 12pt sockets... Heck, I am going to ride my bicycle to work tomorrow. Not all 100 miles but to my train station. :D

Q1. Do I need to replace it? Or fix it?
Q2. Do I need 6 pt deep socket to remove it? 12 pt deep socket ok?
Q3. Do I need PB blaster? Left it in MD...
Q4. What's the socket size? Sorry, I don't have a caliper or some sort to measuring tool to get accurate reading.
Q5. Do I need a swivel extension???
Q6. Maybe my oil separator is clogged? It did passed my breathalyzer test.

Thank you as always.
