I did say it's most likely electrical I believe. 
Tell me, if you were to install an oil pressure gauge on 2.1 waterboxer,
like full time as a dash instrument, which oil sender hole ( or other place
) would you use ?

Come on, Scott. The problem is most likely electrical. FEW people can 
test their own oil pressure and doing it the way you suggest may open 
cans of worms best left alone. Most people CAN test 2 wires and their 
connections. That is the first step.
