Autometer Oil Pressure Guage Problem

Ok, I have a dual pod mounted on my A-pillar, with temperature and oil pressure guages. I was recently working on my the guages, and forgot to pu the screw in that keeps the A-pillar moulding piece on (T-top car). So I was washing my car yesterday, and since my t-tops leak, it leaked down into my moulding piece and through the hole where my wired to my guages run. To make a long story short, my oil pressure guage reads between 25-50 when it gets power and not at zero. Making my oil pressure vary between 75-100 while driving. There was some condensation on the inside of the guage so i let it sit out and dry, but im still experiencing the same problem. Do you think I cooked my guage? I don't think it could be the sending unit because it reads about 30-35 when the car isn't even running. What do you guys think my problem is? Do you know if you can purchase guages seperatlely without the sending unit?
