Pulled it our and cleaned it with some brake cleaner and the oil kept seeping from around the plastic insulator and nut as well as through the connector pin inside. So, I checked my '09 and the same thing. Just an FYI to anyone that cares...

Nice tip! GM had a bunch of bad OP sender units in 1975 as well.
