its part of the dreaded oil cooler assembly. Valley of death. hose is the coolant line. Most its the whole thing that goes out or the O rings under it.

Good idea on taking the oil cooler out. Before I went down that road I stopped by autozone and they had a thin profile oil pressure socket that fits both 1" and 1 1/16". I managed to wiggle it on and got the sensor out.

Thanks guys.

2 days late here...If you still have the intake manifold off, change the oil cooler/pre-heater housing. They are the most failure prone part on the engine and made of plastic. There's a fair possibility of cracking it when re-installing that sensor or they just crack on their own or warp, then leak.

If you've gone so far as to gain access to the sensor, do the sensible thing and replace the whole cooler itself, IMO.
