I’m betting valley or main, but I’ll crawl up there one of these days and recheck. Wouldn’t be surprised if I didn’t get it tight enough or something since working blind back there

Yeah they have a crush type washer like a spark plug so if you don't get it just right you have a LOT of oil pressure pushing around it. I had one that the crush washer got hung up on a thread and didn't make a seal. What a mess. I believe they make a relocation kit for those. Plug that hole and move the sender somewhere easier to get at.

STP are JUNK....

And I'll never buy another one. Been watching some videos on oil filters. Unbiased and unpaid by individuals that are just curious like us. Cutting filters apart and seeing how they're put together and how much/type of media they have in them. Very interesting.
