Yes, the senders have a finite life span, though I seem to have better 
longevity that seed-in reports.  It's not a huge deal.  There are separate 
senders for the oil press. light and for the gauge.  When the one for the 
light goes, sometimes oil seeps out around the sender.

My dear wife has always been convinced that there is no difference between 
oil pressure and the amount of oil in the case; to her, low oil pressure 
means you better see if you're low on oil.  No amount of explaining or 
research materials have convinced her otherwise, and I have been trying for 
over 30 years.  However, she would believe Fred di if he explained the world 
is actually flat after all, so she gets a forwarded copy of his clear and 
definitive statement.  Thanks, Fred!
