Home Depot, Lowes (in this area) or a local well-stocked hardware store should carry brass fitting that will take care of this issue. The fittings are likely 1/8" NPT threads.
So, a failing cluster causes oil leaks?
or was there something else going on also?
I apologize for the confusion! My “leak” was residual oil from the previous rear main seal leak and it was coming out of the bell housing through the gap located bottom center on the inspection plate.
My frequent and alarming oil pressure fluctuations are attributed to the failing cluster

Just an FYI, if desired, you should be able to find a good used cluster via car-part.com or eBay... They are pretty easy to swap out. Just make sure that you get one for the correct year truck.

I was checking some out on eBay. I’ll definitely explore car-part.com. I’m going to go the mechanical route first to make ensure accurate readings and space out the spending. May replace the cluster if I get tired of hearing the pressure alarm go off
I have rarely seen a cluster fail.... I HAVE seen pressure sensors fail.... even new ones.
That makes a ton of sense- especially since a duralast sensor was all I could get my hands on when I needed it quick. I’ll dig around and see if I can find an OEM one
