I think the sender is right above the filter. Give a feel up there for
broken or knocked-off wiring.

Gauge or light? The car originally came with a light only. If you have a
gauge, it's aftermarket.

A common cause of this is a broken sender unit on account of the use of the
wrong kind of oil filter wrench. The sender breaks undernath its boot. You
can't see damage until you remove the black rubber boot.
