This oil pressure sensor that you've replaced is it on the rear of the intake manifold near the distributor if it is-That's the oil pressure switch are you using a mechanical gauge to read the oil pressure or the gauge itself-let me know-No or low oil pressure points to the oil pump and engine bearings-

what weight oil ya runnin? if pressure IS actually low, try 20/50 or 10/30 with a stabilizer like LUCAS. stabilizer i s great for ANY weight oil though. can even slow/stop small leaks. or do the right thing and replace worn parts.

so get a mechanical reading and if OK try replacing sender before tearing into motor. if sender is leaking it's likely out of spec anyway.
