444 Pushing oil - Noob Question

I'm not that familiar with tractor repairs. This part started shooting oil rather quickly. It looks to me like an oil sensor, but this is certainly not my field of expertise.

I need help identifying the part, and determining where I can get a replacement.

Oil does not leak at rest, but when the engine is fired up (or being started) it gushes. Everything was fine when we started it, but this problem developed in use.

In addition, what might have caused the failure, and what other issues should we be looking for as a result of this leak?

The tractor is an old International 444, somewhere around a '67 that I inherited when I took on the maintenance job here. I have no service records or parts manuals for it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
 
Well if oil leaks from that part well guess what that is the oil pressure sending unit. Case/IH or maybe even this site should have a new one
 
Yes, it's a simple oil pressure switch for the oil pressure light.

Case IH part # is 3129031R91. Replaces A13794, 376855R92, 392249R92.


Likely failed from age, I doubt there's any other issue to worry about.

VERY unlikely, but POSSIBLE problem would be if oil pressure regulating valve has failed.
