I hate surprises... So my car started smoking the other day, I thought it might be coming from the valley plate. I remove the intake manifold...
I removed the valley plate and put some black silicon all along the gasket. I was just about to put the intake manifold back on when I found this...
(Extractor to the rescue!)
and this...
Anyone know where to find these two rubber pieces? Is it a dealer item?

Oil Pressure sender any auto parts store CAN GET (may not have in stock). As far as the other pieces, my ***** did that as well...
All you have to do is make those two pipes go into one (it is not a special check valve or anything). I just went to the Help section at Auto Zone and ended up basically using a T-Fitting to get it back together and some hoses (the stock pieces were hard plastic and I slipped rubber hose over them and lightly clamped it).

to the dealer...oil pressure sensor u can get from the dealer last time i bought one it was about 70$...make sure u go to sears and get a socket for the sensor cause its abnormal size and using a wrench 9 times out of 10 u will break it again when you torque it down.

I was having an oil leak right at the rear of the intake somewhere...which just so happens to be exactly where the corroded rubber pcv coupling is located. 
Before I found that split piece, I had already removed the valley plate and put some black rtv all around the gasket, so I shouldn't have any more leaks.
