Default oil sender

ok on the passenger side of the block, I have what seems to be a oil pressure sender, but underneath that sender there is another, that has a single wire, what is this one for? oil temp, pressure.. I have oil temp and pressure gauges, but Im not sure which is what? The sinlge wire sender is leaking oil and i'd like to replace it. Any tricks to get down there? What tools do you use to get at it without removing the radiator? I've tried, can not get at it.

Thanks,
Anthony '89 90Q

Default ok my engine is a little bit different 10V B3

mine are on the block, but at least I know the signal wire is for the warning light. I'll buy that one. Anyone with a 10V know how to get at that without removing the radiator?

I'll take another crack at it. Did you try to remove it on a B3?

No reason to. On 20V both are on Driver's side.
