thats a possiblity. ill pull both sensors and stick some teflon tape on them and see if that fixes the problem. idk i just hope its nothing to major. hopefully the tape will fix it

Oil leaks could also be the o-rings from the filter pedestal.
Don't use Teflon tape on the coolant temp sender. Use pipe dope. Teflon tape can insulate the threads and make the gauge act wonky.

fyi. the easiest way i found to remove the coolant temp sensor was to first remove the oil pressure sensor using a 14mm end wrench. then take a 12mm deep socket with an extension to remove the coolant temp sensor. worked out to be fairly easy.
