It happened relatively quick. Idk how long you've been driving it around with the weird readings. but it started spewing oil maybe 15 minutes after weird readings. If its not spewing oil i'd double checked your contacts and grounding connectings.
Edit: I bought a new sender from Innovate for 20 dollars and its back to normal.... I dont really feel that great about it since the first one failed so i'm contemplating buying a completely different pressure gauge.

No signs of leaking, checked all the wires and ground totally solid. Went and purchased the new sender (Didn't realize it was so cheap). I know something is messed up because the readings are all over the map. Like cruising at a steady 2500rpm and the oil goes 20-60-40-10-40etc. When it worked properly id have maybe a 3psi fluctuation at a steady rpm range.
