FWIW (), Chevy oil sending units had problems with them leaking also, just where your's is. I think the Chevy senders closed at about 5-7#'s.

The main problem that causes failure in them is heat. If you have room, use a short nipple to get the sender away from the heat. Or, just forget it and take your chances.
