On my 96 b4 I have a leak through the oil pressure sensor, the one on the driver's side of the oil cooler. I was wondering if I can replace this without too much oil coming out. I did the other switch during an oil change, but I have only 3 or 4k on this oil so far...it looks pretty high above the oil pan, so I am hoping I can do it. Anyone tried this?

The gray one on the filter flange? Oil may drip off, but it won’t leak out.

Thank you so much, I will give that a try without the oil change. Yes, its the grey sensor that needs to be changed.
