Default Oil pressure sensor is leaking

How do you go about fixing this? The leak appears to be where it is threading into the other oil pressure part. Can i just tighten the screw up?

I believe you will need to put a thread sealer on the threads, others may chime in tho

It needs to have thread sealer on it. I replaced mine as well when I did the intake manifold.
