huge leak from,oil pressure sending unit? need quick help

Ok for a few weeks my oil pressure gauge
would idle at about 40 psi
and during driving stay at 80 or higher, and peg out when i accelerate
now i have tons of oil under the jeep, smoke trails from the oil leaking on the exhaust
and there is oil POURING from the oil pressure sending unit
(above oil filter Yet under the distributor cap)
its actualy pushing out the last rubber gasket towards the end at the wire when the engine runs, even when i push it back in

Now i know the sender is bad of course, but will a new one stop the leak as well?
or is there something that im missing and a new one will end up the same?
any help would be great , i need to get this fixed in the next few hours lol
i cant miss work for any reason lol

There are three o-rings in the oil filter adapter that need to be replaced. Order them as a kit from the dealer and follow http://www.yuccaman.com/jeep/filter.html for details on how to replace.

hes talking about the sender...not the filter adapter

when i re-installed my sender i just teflon taped it and it was good

Thank you both, after looking around yucca mans site i see that i was right, my problem seems to be EXACTLY what he had when he came up with his 25 cent fix

Missed the part about the wire, but yeah you found the other fix. Glad to see it helped.
