Cheap parts, poor installation, stuck pressure relief, chewing critters…

Take your pick. Given how little info you told me, you are lucky to get that.

This statement doesn’t tell me anything except it is leaking after 2 weeks.

Where did you get this part? Is it the cheapest version? Is it leaking from the threads or through the body? Are you sure it is leaking from the sender? Have you checked the actual oil pressure with a mechanical gauge? How long did the last one last? Where was it leaking?
