The first is the oil pressure sending unit, OPSU for short. The second is the MAP sensor. The OPSU is definitely broke. Why do you think you broke the MAP?

You can buy on oil pressure sending unit at a parts store n a special socket to get it on. N if you think the map sensor is broken you can get a new one, but they do pop out where the orange stuff is at

You'll need to buy another OPSU, and most likely the special socket to install/remove it.

Buy a new OPSU. There is no fixing it.

As for the MAP, clean it well to get the oil residue off it and RTV it back in place. I had to do the same thing when my seal was peely too.

Does anyone know how much the OPSU and the part number? Also how did you clean the map sensor just with a rag or parts cleaner? Thanks

I've always had GREAT sucess breaking off the old grit and gime on the heads and intake with a small spray bottle and a few cheap bottles of rubbing alcohol. Nothing I've found yet does a better job.

Bonus is it dries fast, too.

Driver's rear valve cover nipple
To passenger's rear valve cover nipple
Up to the intake manifold port on the passenger side

I *think*

Mines been off for a while. I wanna say there's a solenoid on the rear drivers valve cover as well that plugs into the AIR line, and a "T" somewhere that connects from the AIR to the PCV.... I might be wrong on that last one though.
