Well first clean the area and find out what is exactly leaking. like make sure its not a valve cover gasket or ahead gasket. you can remove it and make sure it hasent got electrollisis and eaten away at the threads if it is the sensor itself i usually go to a pick and pull yard and grab one or two when u put it back on i recomend a tiny bit of teflon it will probably end up missing but it will also help keep it sealed that should cover just about every situation

good luck,
let me know how it goes

Where is the oil pressure sensor?

It is on the engine somewhere. Do a Google search for oil pressure sender location and include the vehicle year, model, and engine size.

Engine oil mixing into coolant

The only place, oil and water share a gasket is the cylinder head gasket, oil and water galleries run through the engine block and head via the head gasket. The cylinder pressure will be OK, it's the oil pressure that's putting the oil in the coolant, the gasket has gone between the water and oil galleries or there is an internal crack (unlikely). A coolant pressure test should show it up.

Sounds like a blown cylinder head gasket between the water and oil passages and galleries. Is the amount of oil significant..not just a hint of a film? Do you have any sign of creamy looking 'mayonnaise' on the under side of the oil filler cap and entrance? This would be sign of the reverse i.e. that water had got into the oil. The oil in the engine is driven around the galleries under pressure, certainly more pressure than the coolant, so if there is a connecting leak oil will be forced through it into the coolant. The best way to make sure is to have your coolant system pressure checked by you local garage when the engine is really cold. With the engine off and the oil filler cap removed a leak will be indicated by the coolant pressure dropping slowly (as water is forced through the leak back into the oil system). Also monitoring the pressure of the coolant when the engine is started from cold will also reveal a leak. The coolant is at normal atmospheric pressure when cold and only when the engine gets hot does the pressure within the coolant system rise (somewhere between 7 - 10psi depending on power unit). However if there is a leak the pressure of the coolant will rise rapidly as the oil system reaches pressure quickly, in other words the coolant system will be forced to the same pressure as the oil system through the leak. The remedy is to renew the head gasket.

Oil leak appears to be oil sending unit where is it located

Replace faulty oil pressure sender.
Oil pressure sender is usually on the engine block, screwed into a fitting accessing the motor oil distribution gallery.

Oil appearing in radiator, 4afe engine, is there awater gallery behind oil pump? checked head gasket looked fine

Still can be a cracked head gasket. Unless you are creating to much pressure in your engine. Just because you do not see any oil leaks does not mean that the head gasket could not be cracked
