where is your sensor hooked up? if it's a samdwich adapter, those are terrible. if it's directly in the oil filter housing, chances are vibrations are killing it

try getting a stainless line and mounting the sensor remotely so that it's not dealing with engine vibrations

with any luck you don't need pictures for this or maybe you should take it in..
remove the sender that's dead. screw in a steelbraided line, route the line somewhere "safe" in the engine bay and screw the sender back into it. Most just pull it up by the strut tower and zip tie it.

Good luck
