Want to see the responses to your question as well. I have an 863 turbo model f and the lead wire that goes to what I believe is a senser broke off. The oil light is on now all the time. The wire lead is a single wire with a spade end that slips into a modual on the Hyd filter. I just serviced the system so I know all is ok but need to replace that sensor or modual. Anyone out there have an idea of how much of a repair this is going to be?

Call the dealer and get a price. It shouldn't be too expensive.
If it was one of the senders with two wires, they get a little more.... A simple temperature sender for a G series machine set me back about $60 vs the one wire one that was $6....

On my 863 I pushed on a wire lead and it broke off the sending unit. the unit screws onto a fitting on the hydro filter. The unit has a brass piece with a small nut on it coming out of the end of the sending unit. The wire has a small connecter on it that attaches to the sendinding unit by this small screw. I think this sending unit indicates either hydro temp or pressure. I have gotten a couple of different opinions on this. I bought a new one from my Bobcat dealer and it matches perfectly. It was $24.00. Put it in and the red light still stays on. Now I am going to see if the new unit they sold me might be defective. NO moving parts just a solid brass unit with a wire that attaches to it.
