Oil pressure sending unit.
AutoZone, $15.
Its easier to change with the oil filter off.

No, no seal, it cracks.
It is make of ceramic, it cracks and then leaks.

It is a good time to completely clean that area before you get started.....

most senders are 1" or 1 1/16" (I have a stepped socket that was made to fit either size)
