Default Oil Pressure and Temp Sending Unit Replacement

So I've tracked down every other oil leak and fixed them and the only place I can find that's leaking now is this pair of sensors/sending units located by my oil filter.

Two things.. What are the part numbers for each? Are they replaceable with the engine full of oil? I found this after I had drained the oil pan during an oil change and had no way to go get the parts without replacing the filter and filling the engine again with new oil. I'd rather not wait until my next oil change to do this.

Thanks

Eric

Here are the two units in question:

You will lose roughly 4-8 oz of oil when replacing these. There is no need to drain the oil, just have a jar to catch the small overflow.

If the senders are not actually leaking, and have been working all along ...
why not just spray them down with some engine degreaser pending the
next oil change?

I assume the lower sender is oil pressure. What's the one above it?

Does anyone know the Ford part numbers?

Thanks

Eric
