Default oil pressure gauge sender

Today I replaced the oil pressure gauge sender, after discovering that it leaked out almost 3 quarts of oil in the past week since I checked the oil. Never saw that happen on any car I've owned, and I've owned a bunch.
It leaked out past the connector.
Strange things seem to happen on this Jeep !
