Threads are stripped or seized? Stripped threads should just fall out

I assume you have tried an oil pressure sender socket?

stripping threads on an iron block is almost impossible to do w/ an OPSU

Agreed.

Its probably leaking out of the back of the connector, super common. Even on Jeeps which have the same one.

That's why I asked if it was seized.

Ok so the OPSU was cross threaded seizing it in place. You'll need an oil sensor socket or just break the plastic portion off and use a normal socket that's the right size. You'll probably need to retap the threads but you need to be super careful because you're dealing with fresh oil passages

a deep socket 6 or 12pt 24mm (i think) will work for removal. use pb blaster

Y'all reading the same thing I'm reading? How's that reading comprehension working for ya? lol.

Huh? Do you plan on JB welding the socket onto the sender?

Try vice grips up there. I know it's yucky tight. but put them on (with the teeth in the proper direction). If you can get a hammer in there, you may be able to use a little impact action on the vice grips.

I'm wondering if the prior owner installed the sensor with JB weld in the first place........

If you do not mind living with such a hack job as that, then try it. You will have to clean all oil and grease off from the location before JB Weld will adhere properly. And there will be no guarantee on that either.

As mentioned above, get some kind of vice grip or pipe wrench on the rounded nut the correct way so that as you turn counter clockwise the grip is maintained. Although shitty, this is not that hard to do if you have basic mechanical abilities.

No, it doesnt leak from the plastic piece. It shoots out of the actual metal part, just happens to come out the connector. So JB weld will do nothing for you.

there is no way to get a pipe wrench in there,it hits the block.and yes,it is leaking from the plastic peice,the vise grips made it egg shaped,so its leaking where the plastic peice meets the nut.i just put some jb weld on it and it stoped most of it, im puttin more on, it should solve the problem.
