05 GT Oil Pressure Sensor

05 Mustang GT - 130K miles

Recently I have been getting a low oil pressure warning right when I put the car in gear, maybe 5 or so times the last month.
It goes away almost instantly and the car runs fine.

I changed the oil but it happened again after.
Went to change the oil pressure sensor and noticed it was leaking (slightly) from the inside of the the sensor itself.

I'm guessing this is most likely the reason for the warnings?
Is this common, especially on a 21 year old sensor?

The plug that goes into the sensor is full of oil, what's the best way to clean it properly?


Has anyone replaced the plug itself? If so, would you consider it easy or difficult?

CRC sell electrical contact cleaner.

I used MAF cleaner and it really cleaned it up good.

Now when I turn the car on, I get the warning full time!

Am I supposed to be turning the new sensor in until it bottoms out?

Well, went back to Napa and got another sensor, Echlin and everything seems good. No warnings yet.
Would love Motorcraft but too impatient to wait.
