My biggest oil leak at the beginning was the same, at the oil pressure sensor/tap on the engine block. I ended up tapping the threads a bit deeper into the block for a deeper set. Gotta be careful not to over-torque it for fear of cracking the block, so it took me some trial and error to finally solve it.
Greaser wheel-landing even. Well done!
