1) Be sure it's not the flex hose attached to the fitting. If that blows out, you have zero oil pressure very quickly. If it is the fitting, you can get a replacement at any NAPA or other major parts store for $1 or so. I like to use Teflon plumber's tape on the threads.

2) I think it's the other way around -- open sender circuit reads full, grounded sensor circuit drives the gauge to empty.

3) & 4) What Mike said.
