The sensor to the oil pressure gauge is the large dome shaped sensor adjacent to the oil filter. The sensor to the oil light is in front of the dome shaped one both have one wire coming from them

There are three engines that come with this car, there are two engines 2.0 and2.4 with the oil pressure switch located on the right front of the engine block, and then if it has the 2.5 engine then the oil pressure switch is located on the leftside of the engine block above the oil filter, good luck,.
You can do a compression test on each cylinder, if one or two cylinders are lower than the others, that could be a sign of a blown head gasket. Also, do a pressure test on the cooling system to see if the cooling system holds pressure. Check your oil for anti-freeze, and vise-versa. Any white foam around the oil cap? Or oil around the radiator cap?
The oil pressure switch relays the oil pressure in the engine to the
instrument cluster. The switch will illuminate the
OIL PRESSURE
light if the oil pressure drops below 2psi (13 pa). The switch
is usually located on the side of the engine, under the intake manifold
on the 2.2L engine and on the side of the intake camshaft housing on
the 2.3L/2.4L engine.
Fig. 1: The oil pressure switch is located on the engine block
under the intake manifold and is accessible from underneath the
vehicle-2.2L engine
Other, the low oil level switch activates the
OIL
light in the instrument cluster when the oil level in the pan
goes below a certain level. The switch is mounted on the oil pan.
Not sure about the ac/radio issue, although others have posted solutions for models later than yours. The oil leaking issue is more than likely a broken or cracked gasket where the pistons of the engine are located. May want to take it to a certified mechanic to get them replaced. Not a very expensive job on a 4-cylinder car. May also want to check the draining bolt where the oil is changed and the oil filter.
