Almost as if the increase of oil in the tank was related to the decrease of oil in the sump.

I bought a wet gauge and hooked it up in the same position as the factory sensor. I did this by tapping into that little block where the oil press. sensor and cam tensioner feed joins up. My gauge is temporarily mounted where the wing nut on the engine fuse and really panel normally screws in.
