Short version, my oil level sensor plug deteriorated into nothing. Half of that nothing is still in the sensor. When I remove this how much oil should I expect to come rushing out at me?

Also, it looks like a single wire connector, think I can get by with some-kind of regular style electrical connector? The plug is $40 that I don’t wanna spend.

This part. The half that by the wire is gone, the half that connects to the sensor is in the sensor but seems to be largely mush

I would check ford to see if you can do better price wise.
I believe I do not have any spares

I’d vote to order an eBay weather pack kit for like $3 bucks and just change the ends
