If you do the relocation you solve the problem for good. You get the sensor out of a hot spot and if it does ever go out again all you have to do is pull a fuel rail cover and replace, 5 minute job.
Here's what I used to replace/relocate my sensor:
From Summit Racing
Autometer adapter ATM-2268
Earls fitting 982303ERL
Russel line RUS-658080
Russel fitting RUS-660410
From Lowes
Brass fitting 1/4 male to 1/8 female
Brass fitting 1/4 to 1/4 female
From Gene Culley gmpartshouse.com
Buick sensor 12584940
The finished product:

I pulled the intake and did the relocate. While I was in there I also insured my Knock Sensors and Harness were not rusted and sealed them with RTV. Total was a about a 3 hour job start to finish.
First time for me to pull the manifold, took my time.

In the last week or two I'm getting oil dripping off the bottom of the engine, under the clutch. The brass OPS that I bought at Advance in Sept. '08 still works electrically but I think I see oil around it. Tomorrow I'm gonna remove the wiper tray and take off the already-made hole cover plate to take a better look. In the mean time, right before I go to bed tonight, I'm going to say a prayer that I don't have a bad rear main seal. We can supposedly send a man to the Moon but can't make a reliable OPS. Even at $50 a whack. Somebody's got a gravy train. Think?
I had oil all over the back of the motor and under the clutch.

I was searching the forums yesterday for some ideas on relocating the oil pressure sensor on my 2001 Corvette. I found a post somewhere that uses these same parts and it had several photos and a step by step list of instructions for assembly. Did you post that info or do you know where I can find it? I forgot to bookmark it...duh to me.
