My Temp sender broke taking it out to replace with a new one for my gauge swap. Sits at the back of the motor.

Will easy outs or whatever those things are called from autozone/oreillys work?

I've had luck using a piece of square stock with a slight taper at the end to remove broken hydraulic fittings on plows and tractors.

They work sometimes but there's a good chance of it failing

And the first pic is my oil leak. I usually see a drop come off the bolt itself. I cannot tell where it's comin from. the whole area is kind of a grotesque mess lol. Should I just do my best to clean it and then see where it comes from?

Lol eagle that's exactly what mine looks like! I'm pretty sure my oil pan gasket or rms is leaking. Check valve cover first then try cleaning it.

Yeah the valve cover bolts tend to loosen over time just snug them up and see if that helps I'd suggest using a screwdriver with a socket on it as not to over tightening the bolts
