Cracked oil pan

[staysideways]

Hi R3V,

I recently bought a 1988 325i vert. I got it for a steal but knowing the previous owner bottomed it out pretty good. The subframe is slightly bent, rack and pinion in broken in half and the pan has been smashed so badly that the only part of the oil pump that still exists is the 2 sides one side with the two 13mm bolts and the other side with just one? There is also this thing that I think is part 3 from this catalog but I can't seem to find it . It has a roughly 24 mm nut a little tube.

Isn't #3 the oil pressure sender that's mounted higher up on the side of the block?

Yea it's not the sender I did some research on its some sort of vent valve but the only problem is that in the catalog its in the back of the block but on the car it's obviously in the front of the block could real oem just messed up? Or these is more to this?
