Fixing to get oil pressure gauge and am concerned about the quality of the electrical sending units.  How likely are they to leak or come apart and cause complete oil loss? 
 
Hi Wendell,
 
Quality senders like VDO are essentially bullet proof.  I wouldn't worry about them at all.  You will also note that most senders have a tiny little hole in the threaded end, so as to restrict the rate of oil loss in the event of a leak.    
 
Cheers,
Rusty
