Once again usually with basic bolt-ons we have install meets so everyone can get together but this install we must take with ease and focus cause it is alot invested

well i have some shitty news... i saw a puddle of oil under the car this morning so i pulled the gravel shield thing off and its leaking from where the T goes into the block at the oil pressure sending unit... i drained the oil and took it out and there is a hairline crack there on the threads that opens up when i tighten the T in there. PLEASE someone give me some good news... any way to repair this??? DONT tell me i have to replace that part of the block. what do you call that part neways??

no it wasnt cross threaded... it didnt even want to go in at 1st, it would start to go then pop itself out like the T was too big, but finally it started. i really dont think i overtightened it because there is still more than 1/2 the threads from the T showing. i just turned until it was snug. so MIA how bad is this??? can u replace that upper pan without pulling the motor??
