well you said it. Oil pressure switch or oil pressure sending unit.most cars have both.If it has one wire it is an oil pressure sending unit. if it has a plug with 2 or more wires it is an oil pressure switch and sends a signal to the onboard computer. remove the wire either a nut or usually a plug.some sending units take a special socket but if you can get a wrench on it turn it counter clock wise and unscrew it. when you get the new one it will have a red material on the threads, this is a sealant.thread the new switch snug and put you plug back on.

Does a leaking gas cap cause a fault in the emission vacuum system?
It can. The leaking gas cap is preventing the fuel tank to establish the proper positive pressure levels that the emission systems rely upon to operate correctly. A leaking gas cap will also cause the vehicle to fail its emissions tests. The leaking cap is also putting excess vapors into the environment. Replace that cap ... they are not that expensive.

These are HIGH pressure cooling lines; make sure you replace them with the SAME quality lines or they will rupture and leave you stranded. You often need a flare nut wrench set to remove them as they can be very tight. If they are just barely seeping I would not replace them ,but if in fact they are LEAKING then you need to update them.
