wire that hangs out of the oil filter housing

[redrags]

what is this called? (the gauge looking thing not the wire that connects it). i have a leak and it needs replacing

[scozz76]

would you be talking about the oil pressure switch? If it's leaking from the thread and the switch still functions properly, remove it, clean the thread, add some sealant and re-install.
