Are you talking about where your stock fuel pressure sensor is? (the little idiot light sensor?). If thats where your going to install the oil pressure guage sensor, then no, you won't get oil all over the place. Maybe a drop or two, but you'll be fine

So you can install the feed line without draining the oil first?

Of course As long as the engine isn't running while your trying to install it, you'll be fine.

Use a volt meter or a test light meter and find a power wire that only gives out 12v when ignition is on. If you're not sure, then tap it on the power cord of the cigarret lighter
