Low Oil Sensor

Anybody know if the sensor for the "low oil" light just unplugs from the oil pan, or do I need to unscrew the plug that its in? I pulled on the wire to unplug it and thought I was going to snap it

there is a little clip that holds plug in place, clean the area and you'll see it, usually grease caking it, hides it

Mike - I didn't see any sort of clip. It looks like its held in place by that bolt/nut. Is this what you're referring to?

the clip is there, it's in the groove that runs all the way around the hex, clean the rust out and hit it with PB, a little pick or pocket screwdriver may help clean off the crusty mess
