AC DELCO oil pressure switch only?

So about a month ago my oil pressure gauge was pinned. I read on the common problems thread that they go bad on these cars. Soon after I did an oil change and replaced the switch at the same time with a new one. The gauge now worked and everything was fine until about a week ago, when after driving the car for 30 minutes the oil pressure would drop dramatically, and at a stop light it would drop into the red zone at almost zero. This freaked me out, but the motor was idling fine. After my car left oil puke stains on the driveway I was freaking out again. So I traced the oil leak to.... the switch.
I bought a BWD pressure switch/sensor whatever you wanna call it. And after two weeks of use, it is puking oil out where the electrical connector goes in!! Not where its threaded into the engine, but out of the connector itself! Piece of junk! So I have an AC DELCO switch ordered up and on the way. According to you guys an AC DELCO switch is the way to go from what I've read. So its on the way.
