I assume you are talking about the round thing in the drivers side of the oil pan with a wire coming out of it? It is an oil level sensor. If the oil level is dangerously low upon startup the display center will show OIL LEVEL LOW. This can happen when the car is parked on an extreme grade, usually with the nose of the car lower than the front as there is no oil touching the sensor when you start up...You have to cycle the key on level ground two times to allow the sensor to read that there is sufficient oil in the pan.

1995 suburban 350 4x4 oil is leaking were the oil pump mounts to the motor?
The oil pump is located inside the oil pan. Are you saying you have an oil pan gasket leak? I have a 97 Tahoe with the 350 and I can drop the oil pan without having to lift the engine. I am not sure if you can or not. If you can you can install a new oil pan gasket yourself......it takes time and remember what you have to unbolt so you can bolt it back up when you are done.

How do you determine the capacity of a custom oil pan It is not a stock pan It is going to be fabricated How far does oil fill up a standard pan just where would you measure from?
You want to make sure that the crankshaft does not come in contact with the oil. Otherwise you will have severe cavitation of the oil and this is just as bad as no oil. If you can use the old dipstick with the new pan, and not fill it above the full mark you should be ok. Just add oil until you reach the full mark and measure the amount you added.
