Oil pressure check

[oldmansupra]

How do I check my oil pressure? I have a vacuum gauge that says it works for checking oil pressure. I've read the TSRM and it's just unclear to me. I can't figure out where exactly to plug in the oil pressure gauge. Do I unscrew the oil pressure sensor that has the electric clip on the end and then insert the pressure tester there? Also will oil start spilling out if this is the case?

Yes you need to remove the oil pressure sensor and screw in a gauge. An actual oil pressure tester should not leak when you do this.

There are a couple of "spare" ports along the block.

I looked around and am just not 100% sure if the ports I`m looking at are indeed leading to a correct place to install the gauge. I`m going to remove the oil pressure sensor and plug it in there. Will it leak any oil once removed?
