Need Oil Leak Diagnosis And Treatment

Just bought a very nice original (2 owner) '75 1.8. First questions of many to follow (Last experience was with '73 2.0 17 years ago):
1. Can I really reach the valve adjusters with the heat exchangers in place? I don't remember seeing any 4 cyl. Porsche that looks so tight (I've done 356, 912 and 914 2.0). I start tomorrow.

2. I have a major oil leak. Assumed it was from a push rod tube or the oil cooler until I went under and saw that oil appeared to be coming from the oil temp. sender. Thought seal must be bad. Then I touched the boot around the brown wire to the sender: boot came apart in my hand and an oil flood occurred (couple of ounces maybe).
What is broken and how do I fix it?
