As long as the engine isn't running it should be minimal oil loss/mess!!

 Two oil pressure sensors (one high, one low) are on their way from Bus

I'm curious if just replacing the high-pressure sensor would fix the
problem.  Assuming I can manage to get to it, if I unscrew it, will oil
pour out the hole (lots, not just a few drips)?  If so, then I'd want to
drain the oil first, in which case I'd replace the sensor and the filter at
the same time - I don't want to change the oil twice.  But, it would be
less experimentally interesting to change both the filter and the sensor at
the same time.
