China Wall oil sensor

I got an open oil passage in the back china wall and I forget if a sensor goes there or not. I already have an oil sensor above the oil filter its black with a 3-wire connector. I heard an oil sender or something goes on the china wall also but I don’t remember any sensor being there. Does any sensor go on the china wall for my car? If not where can I get a plug, to plug that hole? Because the machine shop left the china wall oil passage open and plugged the passage above the oil filter. Thanks.

Just plug it with the pipe plug that you took out of the hole above the oil filter.

I think its a different size, and the machine shop super glued it in or something I had to drill it out a little with out drilling to the other side of the plug and use an easy out so that plug is ruined.

It's the same size. They didn't glue it in, they used thread sealer on it as they should have.

I know they didnt super glue it in they just did a good job. Anyways how tight should the plug be? Becuase it keeps leaking alot of oil.
