Hi guys, i recently posted a couple of days ago about my I6 au leaking alot of oil , continually dripping and it turns out its the oil pressure senor (i think its called?) its a sensor on the right side of the engine when facing towards the car, anyway when i accelerate it spits out oil, has anyone had experience replacing it? do i need to take off the throttle body and injectors to reach it?
is there a better way cause it looks pretty tight and hard to get to. any help would be really appreciated thanks.

thanks guys, i just took off the air intake as you suggested and there is just enough room.
The sensor cracked at the plastic bit, hope it isn't too expensive when i go to ford spares tomorrow.

thanks for the help guys. I went to repco today and they didn't have stock so i went to bursons and they had one for 11.50.
Everything is fitted and so far so good (fingers crossed). All in all the leak was damn hard to find, cause at idle it doesn't leak only after i accelerated pretty hard then it would squirt out from the back of the sensor.
