engine started! wtf is this thing leaking oil?!?!
we got the engine started and i realized we have a high pressure oil leak that is coming out of a little thing right underneath the oil filter pedestal. i'll attach a pic of it and another pic of a closeup. this is very weird.

I was about to add that myself....
And if it wasn't broken off you'd REALLY know about it.. (read: oil, lots of it, everywhere, covering everything in reach)

Yes, that is the oild pressure sending unit, and yes it is snapped off.. I snapped one off of an engine once. I used a reverse threaded bit to get it out. I had to drill a pilot hole through 1st with a smaller bit, and then use the reverse threaded one. I did this while the engine was out and on a stand, and it was kind of a pain in the ***. Its going to suck doing it while the engine is in.. Did you snap it off installing it, or is it something you didnt notice prior to it?

I would try not to drill all the way into/through it...about halfway should be okay, then start the EZ out and back it out. IT shouldn't be overly tight...you might even take a craftsman screw extractor set and get it out that way.
Drilling all the way will get metal shavings into the engine's oil supply. This = teh fubar bearings.
