Ok you are correct I was trying to remove bakelite housing by unscrewing it and snap it broke off but pressed it back on,hope it holds yes there is a oil line next to the sensor and on closer inspection it is leaking oil and blowing down onto the sensor,I will clean the connection up and tweak it a little hopefully this will work,thankyou for the assistance.

I have a 2003 Rosso Corsa,the engine temp sensor on the right hand cylinder has a slow oil leak which means I have to remove the sensor housing which is recessed into the head cooling fins has any body removed one of these before looks like you need a special very thin wall tube socket or something similiar or is there another way to remove this?
