oil sender LEAKING!!!!

ok... now that I have that out of my system...here's my situation...

I have an oil leak in my 86 Burb.... I have replaced these Items..
1. valve cover gaskets
2. oil pressure sender
I had the 700r4 replaced a few weeks back and asked the guy swapping it for me to check the rear main and oil pan while he was in there... he said it was fine... I had already come to this conclusion just wanted reassurance.

Ok this stupid thing( oil sender) appeared to be the culprit after laying under the truck with a flashlight I caught it drip.

Today I replaced it... there are two senders coming out of a y shaped brass fitting. I havent the slightest clue what the other one is for but it's the one that requires a special socket to remove...idiot light maybe? anyway I still have a @#$%^&* leak. The y fitting is loose also...

I am not pleased with the location of this animal... I have a silverado with cruise and 400 other things in the way not to mention the distributor.

now enough history.... I want to relocate this set up... anyone have any pointers on removing the second sender? I can't see how I'm supposed to get the socket in there to remove it. what is it, and is it even necessary? I'll run a frickin mechanical guage and forget about it... if it won't screw something else up in the process.

I live in an emissions testing county where I have to have this thing run on a frickin dyno and sniffer to get an inspection sticker... I don't think she'll pass after dumping half a quart on their garage floor. I'm pretty sure she'll pass the emissions portion... I just really hate leaks

any suggestions or item in question identity will be appreciated...
